Anthology of Canadian Music/Anthologie de la musique canadienne(ACM). Collection of recorded music created by RCI devoted to prominent Canadian composers of serious music and to their most significant works. Tālivaldis Ķeniņš was born on 22 April, 1919, in Liepāja. He died on 21 January, 2008, in Toronto. He began to study music with Lūcija Garūta, then, having moved to France with his parents, he studied in Grenoble with Henri Miller. He studied composition at the Latvian State Conservatory with Jāzeps Vītols. After World War II, Ķeniņš once again travelled to France and in 1945 enrolled at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Paris, where his professors were Tony Aubin and Olivier Messiaen.

"As a composer, I was feeling helpless at home during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, I realized I could at least provide my musical friends with new compositions while they were spending time in self-isolation. So in the Spring of 2020, I composed 31 new short pieces of music for an unaccompanied solo instrument or voice, or for a duo of musicians self-isolating together. With the cancellation of all performances, COVID-19 has adversely impacted the world’s music community. This project is my attempt to raise the spirits of fellow musicians, and the community at large, as we continue to traverse through uncertain times. We might be self-isolating but we are never alone…we have music."

No one can accuse Flying Steps of resting on their laurels. Hot off the heels of ‘Flying Bach’ and ‘Flying Illusion’, the Berlin-based troupe are back with their most ambitious project to date. ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ is seemingly a hundred things in one, a magical amalgamation of dance, music, live performance, art, history and all the rest, highlighted by the instantly recognisable visible art of Brazilian brothers OSGEMEOS. This is an exhibition come to life, a spiritual successor to Modest Mussorgsky’s 1874 work of the same name. As exciting for adults as it is invigorating for children, we can’t wait to see what Flying Steps come up with next.
