Clarity and obstinate vigor. Continuum performs James Rolfe’s pivotal chamber works from 1991 to 2004, celebrating a fruitful partnership with one of Canada’s most accomplished composers. Charting the development of his “muscular and stripped-down” sound and “delicate economy” of form, the concert is co-presented by The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory.
