The Electronic Zen Garden is a contemporary music performance combined with a multi-media visual spectacle, all of which is based on the traditional Japanese Zen garden concept. Using interactive software, four performers will project images on a 12-foot-high lumina column while music from sixteen speakers surrounds the audience. Just as in real Zen gardens, audience members will only be able to see parts of the image and hear parts of the soundscape at any one time, giving every individual a unique image and sound experience.

A permanent home has been established in the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve for the outdoor works of R. Murray Schafer's Patria Cycle, the most ambitious body of music theatre ever devised by a Canadian. In making the announcement yesterday, accordionist Joseph Macerollo, president of Patria Music Theatre Projects, said he hoped the site would become Schafer's Bayreuth, alluding to the home of Richard Wagner's annual opera festival in Germany. The site includes a lake and forest within the 60,000 acres of what is known as Canada's first certified sustainable forest. Peter Schleifenbaum, owner and operator of the forest reserve and a long-time Schafer supporter, wants the initial five-year agreement to be extended.

The Montreal Symphony Orchestra (OSM) performs the world premiere of Tetrapharmakos, a concerto for piano, violin, and cello by Canadian composer Denys Bouliane, in two concerts. Tetrapharmakos is based on the "fourfold remedy of Epicurus"--the philosopher's teachings for a happy existence.
For some time now, composers Walter Boudreau and Denys Bouliane have formed a dynamic tandem, organizing a host of major musical events. Codirectors of the festival Musiques au Présent, organized by the Orchestre symphonique de Québec in 1998, 1999 and 2000, they were also behind the Symphonie du millénaire, a collective work by nineteen composers marking the millenium and performed in Montreal on June 3, 2000, by a fantastic group of 333 musicians. Denys Bouliane, who is a McGill University music professor and head of the Contemporary Music Ensemble (CME), also founded festivals such as MusiNovembre (1998), MusiOctobre (1999), and, in 2002, MusiMars--an event held biennially, alternating with Boudreau and Bouliane's most ambitious project to date, the international festival known as Montréal/Nouvelles Musiques (MNM), whose second edition will be held in February-March, 2005...
9 novembre 2004 Robert Lemay remporte le premier prix au prestigieux Harelbeke Muziekstad Sudbury March 3, 2005 (Toronto) - The Canadian Music Centre (CMC) is proud to announce that New Brunswick-born violinist Jasper Wood's recording of The Great Square of Pegasus received the 2005 Canadian Independent Music Award for Favourite Classical Artist/Group. The recording, which is produced on the CMC's Centrediscs label, features Wood with Canadian pianist Audrey Andrist performing the works of Canadian composer Andrew Paul MacDonald. After discovering and mastering the work The Great Square of Pegasus, Wood approached and commissioned MacDonald to create another solo work and two duo pieces for violin and piano for the recording. All four works draw their inspiration from Greece and Greek mythology and send the listener on a musical odyssey of intense feeling and richness. This is Wood's second win for the Great Square of Pegasus. Earlier this year, he received the East Coast Music Award for the best "Classical Recording of the Year".
The spirit and success of independent music is stronger and louder than ever. Hundreds of artists, who don't fit in with the ever-narrowing radio formats, are none-the-less breaking through to a hungry public and winning the support of fans, media and tastemakers across the nation. These artists will be honoured at the Canadian Music Week Festival (CMW) with the public presentation of the 5th Annual Canadian Independent Music Awards show, simply titled "The Indies". Centrediscs' Jasper Wood is nominated for Favourite Classical Artist / Group.
was a scene many orchestras would envy at a time when classical groups continue to struggle financially, and when some are branching out to try new formats as a means for survival. Liam Conlon doesn't fit the profile of your typical classical concertgoer. But when the high school freshman recently discovered that a show featuring music from the computer game "Final Fantasy" would be playing near his suburban Chicago home, he could hardly believe it. He and a friend snapped up a pair of fifth-row tickets to the Rosemont Theatre concert and joined the cheering, sellout crowd of nearly 4,500 that turned out to see the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra play. Above the stage, images from the game — a theatrical and multi-chaptered quest to save the world — played on giant video screens. The response — including several standing ovations — was much the same last year when the Los Angeles Philharmonic played the music at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Classical Recording of the Year on Canadian Music Centre’s Centrediscs label - February 23, 2005 (Toronto) – New Brunswick-born violinist Jasper Wood received the East Coast Music Award of best “Classical Recording of the Year” for his Centrediscs recording of The Great Square of Pegasus. Wood, known for his brilliant control and complete mastery of technique, performs with Canadian pianist Audrey Andrist of works by Canadian composer Andrew Paul MacDonald. A Canadian Music Centre Associate Composer, MacDonald has won numerous prizes and awards for his works and has been performed, recorded and broadcasted around the world. Wood discovered MacDonald’s work through studying the piece Great Square of Pegasus. "I really believed that the Great Square of Pegasus was impossible to perform well – technically and musically. At one point I had all but given up on the piece…I revisited the piece and it was at this moment as I played through the work again, that my connection with his music was realized," Wood describes in his liner notes. “After discovering this connection with the music of Andrew MacDonald, I knew that I wanted to record a CD of his music.” After mastering this work, Wood commissioned MacDonald to create another solo work and two duo pieces for violin and piano for the recording. All four works draw their inspiration from Greece and Greek mythology and send the listener on a musical odyssey of intense feeling and richness. This is Centrediscs first East Coast Music Award. The Great Square of Pegasus has also been nominated in the 2005 Canadian Music Weeks’ Indie Awards for “Favourite Classical Artist/Group.”
