POST-PONED TO FALL 2026 … Brandon Chamber Players presents Sonic Dreaming Concert
March 21 @ 7:30 pm
Lorne Watson Recital Hall, QEII Music Building, Room 1-60
This concert has been post-poned to Fall 2026.
Truth and Reconciliation requires more of us than ceremonies, placards, and mission statements. Honest work in this area starts in the mind, pushing us to examine biases and privileges so that we can act earnestly to include, celebrate, and amplify marginalized voices. It also requires us to examine the systems in which we operate, including the ways we create art and music. Sonic Dreaming, first established in 2022 by Tahltan performance artist, Peter Morin, and Canadian trombonist, Nora Wilson, is a methodology that prioritizes genuine connection to the land to facilitate creation. It is a means for reflection that leads to art that includes the land as a collaborator. It encourages artists and musicians to imagine the possibilities of a life lived free of colonialism. Sonic Dreaming teaches us to recognize how the people, animals, plants, and waters who share territory intertwine with our own lives in a beautiful and ever-evolving tapestry of this land.
This concert will help our collaborating musicians find greater connection with our territory, resulting in a beautiful set of new music presented to our BCP audience. Sonic Dreaming is storytelling from beginning to end. Musicians will spend time on the land together, listening to and learning the stories shared by their fellow collaborators. This dialogue leads to joint creations celebrating the themes experienced on the land. The compositional process is left entirely to the creators as long as all collaborators, including the land, are active members from beginning to end.
Nora Wilson, trombone and voice; Peter Morin, drum and voice; Koda Maxon, electronics and voice; Edith Skeard, woodwinds; Mitch Renaud, electronics; Jeff Morton, electronics
