  • Late Night Percussion
  • Late Night takes on a percussive edge with excerpts from exciting 20th century works performed by renowned percussionist Colin Currie. Calgary composer Allan Gordon Bell’s bristling Symphonies of Hidden Fire has ignited audiences since its premiere. It is matched by the lyrical, yet urgently rhythmic Rough Music – a percussion concerto by the impressive H.K. Gruber. The program also includes music by Steve Reich, Per Nørgărd, and Matthias Schmitt.

  • Late Night 1900s
  • The 20th century was a time of exciting innovation, and you will hear music performed to illustrate the mood of this era. Composed at the height of World War II, Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony glorifies the power of the human spirit with a sound that is bright and heroic. Stravinsky’s suite from the ballet Pulcinella led him into the “neo-classical” style which dominated his compositions for decades. Swiss-born Arthur Honegger was one of the darlings of the avant-garde with his work, Pacific 231, a work inspired by the power and mechanical marvel of a train engine.
