Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, Canadas self-described Disruptor Conductor and musical activist, leads visionary new orchestral works composed in the last three tumultuous years. Zosha di Castri, our 2002 Young Composer Project creator, explores how we experience the passage of time in her latest work. Derrick Skyes tone poem integrates musical practices from different cultures. Esa-Pekka Salonens ravishing fantasy evokes a surreal ballroom scene and is full of virtuosity, ecstasy, and good humor.
