This iconic work. composed and premiered in a prisoner-of-war camp in 1940/41, is described by New Yorker critic, Alex Ross, as, “the most ethereally beautiful music of the twentieth century.” Joining the Messiaen are three dynamic and colourful large ensemble pieces by one of Canada’s most skillful and internationally respected composers, Alexina Louie. The soloist in Louie’s Winter Music is violist, David Harding, and Ricochet features trombonist, Jeremy Berkman.
