March Already?

Yes. It's March. And this blog has been silent for a while. Sorry about that.

There are a few exciting events coming up, and they've been added to the calendar.

March 6th at 3:30pm, A lecture recital with composer Aris Carastathis. Carleton University, Loeb A900. Carleton Music's Contemporary Music Ensemble, aided by some special guests, will perform his works.

On March 8th, at 7:30pm, Trillium will perform the music of Piazzolla, Martinu, and two Ottawa composers: Glen Morley and Margrit Cattell. We really shouldn't miss this one! It's at St. Luke's (760 Somerset West). Trillium is Cathy Baerg (flute), Steven Smith (cello), and Joan Milliken (piano).

On March 15th, at the Centre culturel du Vieux-Aylmer, salle La Basoche (120 rue Principale, Gatineau (Aylmer sector)), there's a concert accordion recital by Pierre-Paul Provencher featuring works by Kusyakov and Abbott. Here's the kicker: it's at 11am! Hope to see you there.

On March 18th, at 12:15pm, there's a saxophone and piano recital at First Baptist Church Ottawa (Laurier at Elgin). No word on the repertoire, but the odds are good that it'll be modern. Billy Boulet, sax, and Tony Dunn, piano.

March 21st brings us the music of Ottawa composer Jan Jarvlepp. At 8pm, l'Orchestre Symphonique de Gatineau will play his Double Concerto for Flute and English Horn, at the Salle Odyssée de la Maison de la culture de Gatineau. The program is otherwise all-Ravel!

That should keep us all satisfied for the next few weeks!
