Opening Night: Duo Concertante – At Water’s Edge WORLD PREMIERE
June 22 — 7:30 pm
In the late-1980’s, Robert Mellin was a young architect researching the construction of houses, wharves and sheds in Tilting, Fogo Island, NL. The drawings, photos and interviews he compiled into an acclaimed book are now re-imagined by Duncan Major and Melissa Hui in Tilting: At Water’s Edge as an audiovisual journey featuring original music, animation, and stories told by Tilting’s own residents.
Duo Concertante brings this world premiere to life alongside other works inspired by homelands: de Falla’s Suite populaire espagnole, Janáček’s Sonata for violin and piano, and Stravinsky’s Danse Russe.
A post concert chat will be held following the performance
