The second event of this year’s fest features an epic triple header bringing together Halifax-based cellist, composer, and improviser India Gailey, Montreal-based percussionist David Brongo, and Ottawa-based harpist Michelle Gott. Each artist will perform a 30-40 minute set, followed by a short intermission.
Gailey and Brongo will perform selections from their latest albums (Problematica and Confluence respectively), which includes music by Nicole Lizée, Claude Vivier, Thanya Iyer, Patrick Giguère, and more; while Gott will perform works by Ottawa-based composer John Gordon Armstrong and herself, alongside other pieces by Andrew Staniland, and Takashi Yoshimatsu.
After the show (and at the intermissions), hang out with the ONMC Festival Artists in the OAG’s Sky Lounge where refreshments will be available.
We can’t wait for YOU to hear THIS!
ONMC’s 2024 Festival is made possible through the generous support of the City of Ottawa, Ontario Arts Council, and the SOCAN Foundation, the Canadian Music Centre, and community partnerships with the Ottawa Art Gallery and Steinway Piano Gallery Ottawa.
ONMC is committed to showcasing the very best in new music, with a focus on Canadian and Ottawa-based artists. The Ottawa New Music Festival’s 2024 edition features the world premiere of one Ottawa based work (by Michelle Gott), the world premiere of Ottawa-born (and Toronto-based) Frank Horvat’s “Almost Homeless”, and the entirety of the festival features 98% Canadian music by length!
In partnership with Capital Pride, the OAG Youth Council is excited to present a free drop-in painting workshop led by Montreal-based artist Kezna Dalz! Join us in person at the OAG on April 16 between 12 and 4 p.m. to create a painted work that depicts what you would like to see in your heart.
Kezna’s work is characterized by raw features and bright colours, and within her multidisciplinary practice she addresses themes such as feminism, the fight against racism, popular culture as well as one’s relationship to sexuality. Her work can be viewed on https://teenadultt.com/
