-All Music Guide Two of Canada's most engaging virtuosos, trumpeter Guy Few and bassoonist Nadina Mackie Jackson, are joining forces to present innovative programming for trumpet, corno, bassoon and piano in recital, as well as with orchestral accompaniment. Individually these artists have performed as soloists and principals with orchestras throughout North America and at festivals worldwide. Appearing together in concert, they demonstrate a commitment to the exploration of unusual repertory from the baroque to today in concerts that can be presented in a variety of settings from intimate house concerts to recital halls. Recent events include the Francophonia project for CBC in February 2008 at the Glenn Gould Studio with the Toronto Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Alain Trudel, when they offered the world premiere of a new double concerto by Alain Trudel, as well as solo concerti for trumpet and bassoon by Mathieu Lussier and André Jolivet. In summer 2008, the duo premiered a new double concerto by Mathieu Lussier for trumpet, bassoon and wind ensemble along with solo concerti for each insrument by Norwegian, Polish, American and German composers. Their current five year project for the MSR label has generated worldwide interest and enthusiasm. Bacchanale was released in 2007. The second CD, Romanza, was released in June in conjunction with an opening night concert at the International Trumpet Conference with Guy as featured soloist. The next project is Aria, featuring a triple concerto for soprano, trumpet, bassoon and orchestra to be performed with soprano Donna Brown and conductor Nicholas McGegan. The final recording project, Alien Baby and the Spinning Marble, will also become a film. Forthcoming performances include the Abbey Bach Festival, the Grand River Baroque Festival (where they serve as co-artistic directors) and a tour of western Canada, as well as performances with the Mississauga and Georgian Bay Symphony Orchestras.
