Composer on the Move…
Canadian composer Zosha Di Castri was pretty busy with commissions – including one for the WMCT – when she was called by the National Arts Centre and offered another.
“But the fact that the result would be Dear Life, the most ambitious commissioned work undertaken by the National Arts Centre Orchestra, was too good to pass up. Di Castri’s 25-minute-long score will have pride of place in the first concert led by Alexander Shelley as NACO’s seventh music director. The piece is based on a short story by Alice Munro.“
The world première of Ms Di Castri’s WMCT commission will be performed at Music in the Afternoon by Dannthology, Steven Dann, viola, and friends and family on April 7, 2016.
