September '96 (2ncert ~es As usual, September has fewer than one third the number of concerts you'll get in any month from October to June. This is good news and bad news. The good news: fewer listings mean twice as much space for these Concert Notes! The bad news: fewer listings mean twice as much space for these Concert Notes! Toronto's Anlun Huang The Toronto Chinese Youth Orchestra and the Toronto Chinese Philharmonic Orchestra join forces under the baton of Tak-Ng Lai at the George Weston Recital Hall September 15. · Featured work on the programme: the premiere of Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D by Toronto composer, Anlun Huang. Huang, Chinese by birth, was composer-inresidence of the, Central Opera House in •3• - ... .. '"'" .. ~~- ---=-- - - Beijing in the 1970s, and holds a M.Mus.from Yale University. He is a memb'er of the Canadian League of Composers and his ballet, "Dream of Dunhuang" was premiered recently by the Russian State Ballet of Moscow. Soloist for this performance will be Siqing Lu, who, after winning the Paganini International Violin Competition at the age of 17 went on to the Juilliard School and subsequently to a highly successful solo career. From the ends of the earth One area of music-making that has really come into its own over the past thirty yea·rs is percussion: composers and audiences alike have finally discovered the vast potential of this medium. Percussionist Debbie Waugh came here · from Australia six years ago to study with members of Toronto's own percussion ensemble, Nexus (she heard them ·play in Australia, gave up her symphony position and headed for T.O.). , Now she brings together a collection of brilliant young musicians to collaborate with her in the second of her two graduate performance recitals at Waiter Hall, September 6 at 8:00. PULSE Music Gallery Incubator par excellence Judging by their ad (p. 6) the Music Gallery will continue to be the "mother node" for contemporary and new music performance in Toronto. By way of illustration: September 14 a quintet of some of Toronto's finest young musicians calling themselves the Arcana Ensemble perform new music, some of it commissioned by them, from Slovakia. And two weeks later 1:he Canadian Electronic Ensemble performs electronic music by some of the country's leading composers in this medium. First pitch of the season First-song-of-the-season honours goes to Wellington Lambert Trio's category-defying a cappella perf0rmance of Gregory Lambert's music Sept 4 and 5 at St Stephen-in-the-Fields Church. (We first heard them last May as part of Artword Theatre's Festival of the Human Voice). To all our readers: Welcome 1 - -(or welcome back as tbe case may be). We hope you will find Pulse useful (again) this music season. To our city's many many dedicated musicians without whom there would be no need for a magazine like this: Welcome back from whatever journeys, musical or otherwise, the summer took you on. How do we know you've all been somewhere? Because of bow difficult it's been to squeeze September concert listings ' out of some of you! For errors and omissions in the listings this month, therefore, we are innocent until proven guilty. UBLISH 'S Next month? odiumNoam>
