Multi award winning composer/ trumpeter/ producer Brad Turner has composed a major work for jazz septet with a children’s choir feature. Rare is it that jazz suites include choral parts, let alone children’s voices! This piece is such a mammoth feat of composition and performance, that this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear the new work in its entirety. Don’t miss out!
Turner was commissioned by Coastal Sound Music Academy, with funding from BC Arts Council and Province of BC to write something for his group that included a vocal element. Diana Clark, Artistic Director of Coastal Sound asked Turner what he’d always wanted to write, and he came back with the idea for a multi movement suite based on the idea of crossing cultures, generations, musical genres. Musicians like Neelamajit Dhillon, an Indian Tabla virtuoso, have been added to the mix for this ground breaking work. Like Oscar Peterson’s legendary Canadiana Suite, or Duke Ellington’s sacred concerts, Brad Turner’s new piece is sure to live on as a gem.
Experience the world premiere LIVE at Water’s Edge! Saturday, March 20 at 7:30pm.
