The schedule for the Royal Conservatory’s 2022 21C festival has been announced.  As usual it’s heavy on premieres and this year showcases the Kronos Quartet.  The three things that are likely of most interest to OR readers are:

• The premiere of Gould’s Wall by Brian Current co-presented with Tapestry Opera.  It’s  a re-imagining of the life of Glenn Gould and features singers climbing along the wall of The Royal Conservatory’s atrium.  It opens on January 12th and runs until the 16th.
• Marc Neikrug’s A Song by Mahler gets a single performance on January 15th at 8pm in Koerner Hall.  It tells the story of a singer and her husband coming to terms with Alzheimer’s.
• A recital by Gerald Finley and Julius Drake at 3pm on January 23rd in Koerner Hall.  This features the premiere of a new song cycle by Marc-Anthony Turnage plus lots of other goodies.
