New Music
Saturday, November 4, 9pm
Internationally acclaimed clarinetist François Houle joins forces with French virtuoso bassist and composer, Joëlle Léandre and Swedish percussionist Raymond Strid for an evening of incomparable sound. Houle’s performances and recordings embrace diverse musical spheres: classical, jazz, new music, improvised music, and world music. Joëlle Léandre performs contemporary classical music (Scelsi, Wolff, Bussotti, Kagel), plays improvised music, works with theatre directors and poets, and performs as a soloist. Raymond Strid first came to prominence with the Swedish band Gush (Mats Gustafsson, Sten Sandell). He creates sounds, colours, and movements that give his music a clear body and character that is balanced against the intuitive and unexpected.
