Transpositions is an unusual album in more than one way. For starters, the music is composed by a duo; Unsettled Scores consisting of Spy Dénommé-Welch and Catherine Magowan. These are the folks responsible for Canoe last year. The new album, like the opera, explores the theme of environmental degradation; this time coupled with the idea of chronic illness, through the medium of instrumental chamber music; albeit a most unusual ensemble. It’s a trio of Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk – Viola, Justin McLean – Bass Trombone and Tuba and Christine Cheongyeong Bae – Piano..

The new season starts to ramp up in September. My month will start at Factory Theatre on the 7th with Mary Beath Badian’s The Waltz; a coming of age drama set in Saskatchewan. That runs until the 17th. The following night there’s a screening at the Four Seasons Centre of Atom Egoyan’s new film Seven Veils that was created in conjunction with last season’s production of Salome. A young woman is tasked with remounting her former mentor’s production of Salome. It stars Amanda Seyfried, Ambur Braid, Michael Schade and Michael Kupfer-Radecky. It’s a chance to see the film ahead of the official premier at TIFF. More details and tickets
