That was a wonderful week!
Border Crossings’ collaboration with the 2016 New Music Festival produced an beautiful issue featuring interviews with contemporary composers David Lang, Barbara Monk-Feldman, Joan Tower and Michael Snow, whose musical works were performed throughout the week. The issue can be purchased here.
Tetrem Capital Management sponsored Border Crossings in bringing renowned artist, composer, and musician Michael Snow to Winnipeg to celebrate the WSO’s 25th anniversary of its New Music Festival. The Wednesday night programme highlighted the artist’s film “Snow in Vienna” (2012), an on-stage conversation with Border Crossings Contributing Editor Robert Enright and a Launch party for the magazine’s latest issue.
Here are some photos from the festival:
