BY DAVID G.H. PARSONS

BY DAVID G.H. PARSONS Aficionados of Toronto's new music scene will recognize the name "Hear & Now" from its previous incarnation, a broad sheet produced by New Music Concerts. 11uJt excellent concert guide now makes its home here in WholeNote. AN EASTERN ESPRIT On October 25, the Esprit Orchestra presents "Orient/ Occident", the ~r~t event of its 1998/99 season. Espnt s music director Alex Pauk states, "this programme references an on~oing cross-cultural theme present m a number of our concerts. In fact, the Oriental influence seems to offer a potentially unlimited wealth of .pieces, new ideas and fresh approaches.~ This Eastern connection ranges from subtle underlying structures present in works like Bob Becker's "Music on the Moon", to much more overt thematic elements found in Japanese compos~r Akira Nishimura's "A Mirror of Mist". Other recurring concerns for Esprit are highlighted - incorporation of live electronics with the orchestra and showcasing soloists from within the ensemble (in this case concert master Fujiko Imajishi). There is a pre-con~ert discussion (especially valuable for newcomers to new music), plus coffee and conversation afterwards. ARRA YMUSIC. L. to R. Richard Sacks, Robert w. Stevenson and Marc Sabat in "Big Pictures." PH

-----------------------------------------, ~~~m~:~~~~u This quick guide to new music in WholeNote's concert listings was compiled with the help of the Music Matrix Conflict Calendar, an aid to scheduling new music events in Toronto. In addition to presenter, date and· time, some aspect of the event that makes it "New" (e.g. a particular composer or performer) is also noted. (Note: events at the Music Gallery were received too late for inclusion in this month's "QuicKnew". See ad on page 11.) OCTOBER Schmidt, Louie, Kuzmenko & •01 12:10: U ofT Faculty of Koprowski Music.
