Kitchener-Waterloo ORMTA celebrated Canada Music Week in a big way.
On November 26, almost 40 students signed up for all-day masterclasses with
clinician and ORMTA member Marnie van Weelden, who gave valuable feedback on
their Canadian and contemporary repertoire.
After a short break, the Canada Music Week Recital took place. Of the
twenty-two student performers, three performed their own compositions.
K-W ORMTA president Joanne Bender performed her composition "Drum Dancer
Under the Northern Lights" and spoke about both the compositional devices
and the social background which led to the development of this piece.
Students and audience members were inspired by these words from a 'real
live' working composer!
Red and white balloon bouquets decorated the venue. To end the recital, O
Canada was played, and each performer was given a helium balloon to take
home
as a memento of the day. A fun and educational time was had by all.
