About this event
Pianist and composer Dinuk Wijeratne joins the Canadian Chamber Orchestra for his electrifying solo piano and string orchestra piece Gajaga Vannama. Inspired by Sri Lankan ritual and the majesty of the elephant, this vibrant East-meets-West score pulses with dance rhythms, jazz inflections, tonal clusters and dazzling colour. In works for chamber orchestra by George Walker, Caroline Shaw, and Philip Glass, the CCO traces a compelling musical arc from luminous lyricism to shimmering textures and hypnotic rhythmic drive. “An exhilarating journey into a strange new world of joyous energy.”, says the Winnipeg Free Press.
