Description
Two composers who have thrived and created in Toronto for most of their careers enjoy a portrait programme for May's FLOWER MOON. Juliet Kiri Palmer and James Rolfe have lived and worked together in Toronto's west end since the 1990's. They bring their own distinctive approaches to writing for the piano: both influence and evident contrast is gleaned between the composers' catalogues.
Pianists Stephanie Chua and Adam Sherkin offer premieres of new compositions and reconsiderations of significant piano works from the late 20th century, centered around the idea of protest and activism. Both Palmer and Rolfe will be in attendance. This is the third of our sub-series "In Portrait," a newly curated set of events this 2026-27 Season. 🌺 🌕
