Latitude45News - January 2010
December 18, 2009, 12:00 am Dear Friends and Music Lovers, 2010 HighlightsWinter 2009/2010: Kleztory in Belgium Kleztory brings the peppiness and the poignancy of klezmer music to the concert halls with the finest quality musicians. Their colorful shows bring the true spirit of klezmer to life, and their energy and humour shows make faces smile and feet tap. In 2007, their album "Nomade" won an Opus Prize for the best jazz /world music album in Québec. Kleztory will tour Belgium in January 2010. You can also see them showcase at the Arts Presenters Conference in New York in January 2010. www.latitude45arts.com/artists/view/kleztory Spring 2010: Mark Fewer in Australia Violinist Mark Fewer is making an impressive career both in the great traditions and the utterly original, from coast to coast. The former artistic director of the Scotia Festival of Music in Halifax, former concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and now professor at Montreal's prestigious McGill University is in high demand as both a soloist and a recitalist, and he is now about to leap from continent to continent. On April 27, 2010, Mark Fewer visits Adelaide/Australia with a recital of partitas by Chris Paul Harman and J. S. Bach; and on May 1, her performs John Adams' "Dharma at Big Sur", a concerto for electric six-string violin, with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Bramwell Tovey. www.latitude45arts.com/artists/view/mark_fewer Fall 2010: Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Asia Tafelmusik will tour Asia in October 2010 with the "Galileo Project: Music of the Spheres". The project is Tafelmusik's contribution to the International Year of Astronomy, marking 2009 as the 400th anniversary of Galileo's development and use of the astronomical telescope. It combines music, words and images to explore the artistic, cultural and scientific world in which 17th- and 18th-century astronomers lived and did their work. The tour includes concerts in Malaysia and China and a residency in Korea at the Hanyang University. www.latitude45arts.com/artists/view/tafelmusik Fall 2010: Nouvel Ensemble Moderne in Poland and New York To honor the 90th birthday of Italian writer Primo Levi, composer, multi-media artist and producer Andrea Liberovici created a mixed media cantata especially for the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne and its director Lorraine Vaillancourt.

After successful performances in Torino and Genoa in fall 2009, the cantata will come to New York in October 2010. Members of ISPA will have the opportunity to get a first impression of the piece at the Annual New York congress in January 2010.
