Composer Alex Eddington is seeking amateur choirs (SATB/SAB/SA/TB/unis.) to join a consortium for the 2019/20 season.
Up to 11 choirs will co-commission a new piece for choir and piano: a setting of Lotte Kramer’s beautiful poem “Boy With Orange (out of Kosovo)”.
Sign-up by July 31, 2019 (NEW DEADLINE) - premiere anytime during the 19/20 season!
Adam Scime - a wonderful bassist, pianist and composer - broke his right hand, and had to stop playing bass while it heals. But Adam is turning lemons into an exquisite fountain of lemonade! He wants to commission seven Canadian composers - including Alex Eddington - to write new left-hand piano pieces for him to premiere this May.
Swoop-ga-woop!
Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra just shared a hilarious new music video of my piece "gibbons vs Gibbons" starring the Odin Quartet.
Alex Toškov (who also edited the video) and Tanya Charles Iveniuk struggle to play through a viol duet by English Renaissance composer Orlando Gibbons, as a pair of white-cheeked gibbon apes (voiced on cello and viola by Samuel Bisson and Veronica Lee) sing, swoop down and swat them. See my full program notes below the video…
The SPOGreatMusic podcast just released an episode profiling the Odin String Quartet’s album project. Host Daniel Mehdizadeh spoke with Odins Samuel Bisson and Alex Toskov about the repertoire, and the composers talk about their pieces in their own words.
My piece gibbons vs. Gibbons will be on the album, and I spoke about it (in an animated manner!) for the podcast.
