Din IV

Our fourth event was presented by the Music Gallery's Emergents series on May 3rd 2019 at 918 Bathurst in Toronto. The show featured new multidisciplinary creations by Angela Blumberg, Quinn Jacobs, Domenic Jarlkaganova, Ming-Bo Lam, and Julia Mermelstein, written for dance, percussion (including two marimbas), violin, and electronics. The four new works on the programme were presented alongside reimagined classics Glass Houses (1981) and Rivers (1979) by Ann Southam and Living Room Music (1940) by John Cage.
Following in the tradition of past Emergents Series shows, this event was a double bill. Toronto-based visual arts collective SPAMCARTS (Alesha Aquino, Amy Jefferys, and Jennifer Ramses) accompanied Din, exhibiting their work in the art gallery adjacent to the performance space at 918 Bathurst throughout the evening.
Overall, the event was a resounding success, with over 100 guests in attendance and more than enough captivating art to go around!
