Featuring actor RH Thomson
Who’s counting? Continuum's 25th anniversary season concludes with Wisdom of the Elders, a concert examining our place in the world - as members of Continuum and as members of the human race. The works on the program ask important questions: in Narayana's Cows, Tom Johnson musically interprets the 14th century Indian mathematician Narayana's investigation into population growth; in a new piece by Juliet Palmer, a setting of excerpts from the work of Native author Thomas King, the creation myth is reexamined; British composer Geoff Hannan underscores inequity in Where I live is shite/Where I live is posh. The concert is a celebration of Continuum's achievements since its inception and features old friends, some of whom were members when the group was a collective of musicians and composers fresh out of school. Other special guests are soprano Carla Huhtanen and acclaimed actor RH Thomson.
