8 Vignettes

A Collaboration of Art and Music between
OCAD University and the Royal Conservatory of Music

April 20th, 2012
Performances begin at 7:30pm

The Music Gallery

197 John Street, Toronto

On Friday, April 20, a once-in-a-lifetime collaborative performance between OCAD U’s fourth-year Printmaking students and musicians from the Glenn Gould School at the Royal Conservatory of Music will take place at The Music Gallery in Toronto. The collaboration is the brainchild of renowned Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer and his good friend, OCAD U Printmaking Professor Rudolf Bikkers.

Invited guests will experience eight vignettes, each featuring a musical composition written by an RCM student paired with one or more printmaking students, who have created works that range from sculptural in nature to those that include projected elements, lighting, animation and installation. Guests will intermingle among the performances as a part of them.

The performance will feature works by OCAD U students Arend Currie, John Ekonomakos, Elizabeth Ortolan, Melissa Cormier, Annie Cormier, Megan Cunningham, Krystina Plante, Lee Aaron Wiesblatt, Ryan Reid Millard, Ashley Lil Eisen, Alexa Hatanaka, Jean Romano, and Annyen Lam.

The students from the Glenn Gould School are Taylor N McGee (violinist), Danielle Girard (violinist), Sophie Baird-Daniel (harpist), Ruth D’Souza (vocalist), Teddy Wiggins (violinist), Vladimir Tsyglian (vocalist), Carlos Hernondez (pianist), Sahara Sloan (vocalist), Dave Shewchuk (violinist/composer), Nicholas King (pianist), Autumn Chodorowski (vocalist), Minjoo Jo (pianist), Lucas Porter (composer) and Tao Chen (coordinator).

Due to space considerations the event is restricted to invited guests, but the performance will be documented by OCAD U Visual Resources, and made available via the university’s library later this summer.
