SUMMARY:'Owl Calling' staged reading
DESCRIPTION:The call of an owl becomes an omen for Eddie\, a former residential school student in Brandon University professors Darrell Racine and Dale Lakevold’s new play Owl Calling. But what kind of an omen will it be for a man who has just opened up about his residential school experience?\n\n \n\n \n\nThe play premieres in Winnipeg September 25 — with a staged reading in Brandon at BU’s Evans Theatre on Oct. 3 as part of the university’s Truth and Reconciliation Week.\n\n \n\nOwl Calling depicts the journey that two Indigenous men undertake with their families as they go through the federal government’s compensation process for former residential school students.\n\n \n\nTheir families believe this process will help Eddie and his brother-in-law Jim heal from their school experience and find justice. But the compensation model\, as the family members in the play discover\, has little to do with healing.\n\nThe staged reading is free to all\, and takes place at BU’s Evans Theatre beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday\, Oct. 3.\n\nRead more about Owl Calling.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk — Elaine Rounds

She was selected for the MAWA program in 1995-96 and a summer mentorship a few years later. She describes herself as a nature-based artist. \nMail art projects:\nElaine has had 2 major mail art projects. THE FABRIC OF LIFE asked participants to produce work expressing how fabric touches or influences their lives. The work sent to her was exhibited in Brandon and Iceland.  Her second project was READING THE LANDSCAPE\, where she requested handmade artist books reflecting urban and rural landscapes. It was exhibited at the Art Gallery of Southwest Manitoba. Documentation of both projects was sent to all participants. Making mail art is still part of her current art practice. \nSelection of Mail-Art collection of Elaine Rounds\, housed at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba

SUMMARY:Brandon Chamber Players Concert: On the Brink of Peace
DESCRIPTION:CONCERT STARTS at 7:00 p.m.\, with a pre-concert talk scheduled for 6:15 p.m. \nJazz pianist and composer Witness Matlou  \npresents  \na suite of original music informed by his upbringing in South Africa’s townships. These areas on the periphery of a town or city have historically been used to uphold racially segregated living arrangements. There\, outside of Johannesburg\, Witness was surrounded by the sounds of Marabi\, Mbaqanga\, and gospel music. Protests songs echoed into South Africa’s political transition period into the late 90’s and 2000’s. The music stems from different cultural backgrounds that represent the demographic makeup of the townships\, where people were assembled from around the country. New forms of language and expression emerge forming a unique township lingo. The music is interpreted and processed in the context of life in the township and the socioeconomic conditions of the working-class. The township experience forms the basis for Witness’ musical background\, along with classical music\, and having moved to America to study Jazz. \n “I look to create music that forms an amalgamation of my life experiences\, the sounds of the languages I speak\, the people I’ve met around the world and the social conditions that I live in. Music to me means possibilities. It is where I find joy and a shelter that I wish to bring people in when life’s storms appear\,” says Witness. He is presently an assistant professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston\, USA. \nAlso featuring: \nJon Gordon\, saxophone; Marika Galea\, bass; Eric Platz\, drums \nTICKETS: $40 GENERAL\, $20 STUDENT \nStudents attend free with valid student ID at the door. Adult tickets can be reserved online at brandonchamberplayers.ca or by phone at (204) 724 6031. Tickets can also be purchased at the door\, although we appreciate greatly when tickets are reserved in advance. Cash\, credit\, and debit are accepted. \nhttps://brandonchamberplayers.ca/concerts

SUMMARY:pro series: Carlo Muscat\, saxophone
DESCRIPTION:The evening’s program\, composed by Carlo Muscat: \nTotoro; Cleopatra; Holler; The Body Is Only Light; Lisovyk; Arrietty; Everyone Looks Happy; Lyra’s Sonnet \n  \nRecognised as one of the most promising voices on the European jazz scene\, Carlo Muscat’s reputation as a saxophonist\, composer\, and bandleader has flourished through collaborations with numerous outstanding European musicians including Tony Tixier\, Philippe Maniez\, Mátyás Szandai\, Mauro Gargano and Sandro Zerafa. His sixth album\, Hymns\, received critical acclaim\, with a four-star rating from Downbeat Magazine and a spot on their list of Best Albums of 2023. This acknowledgement signaled his development as an artist and his emerging role in contemporary jazz. An inventive improviser overtly embracing freedom of interpretation and a willingness to explore new musical territories\, Muscat’s discography now includes seven albums as a leader and numerous contributions as a sideman. Beginning with his 2014 debut release\, The Sound Catalogues\, each album has probed a different aspect of his sound and experimented with compositional and stylistic approaches\, reflecting his dedication to an ongoing pursuit of his musical vision. Originally from Malta\, Carlo is currently based in Kyiv\, Ukraine\, and has been the co-owner and director of the music venue and bar Storeroom\, located in Ta’ Xbiex (Malta)\, since 2019. His 7th album\, The Body Is Only Light\, was recorded in Kyiv in March 2024\, and is set to be released on October 25th 2024 on the American label ears&eyes Records. \nalso featuring Brandon University Music faculty: \nDiogo Peixoto – guitar; Marika Galea – bass; Eric Platz – drums \n  \n \nStarting his guitar journey at a young age\, Diogo Peixoto quickly immersed himself in various musical environments\, becoming a sought-after sideman across different genres. His involvement with the ‘Coletivo Orquestral’ alongside renowned musicians like Hermeto Pascoal\, Brandford Marsalis\, Arrigo Barnabé\, and Vinícius Dorin\, not only showcased his talent but also provided invaluable experiences. Diogo is also a proficient songwriter and singer\, with his compositions receiving recognition in several Brazilian song festivals. Characterised by spontaneity and intensity\, his guitar playing reflects a unique blend of influences\, showcasing a melodic sense and composition style enriched by Brazilian rhythmic nuances. Holding degrees in Popular Music\, Financial Management\, and a Master’s in Jazz Performance and Literature\, his academic background complements his practical expertise. Currently teaching at Brandon University in Canada\, Diogo continues to inspire and educate a new generation of musicians\, embodying a commitment to fostering creativity and musical excellence. \n \nMarika Galea (she/her) is an award-winning performer\, composer and writer from Toronto. Best known as a bassist\, her work explores the space between improvised jazz\, narrative songwriting\, and hypnotic soundscapes. She has supported artists across jazz\, pop\, rock\, indie\, hip hop\, new music and experimental genres including Terence Blanchard\, Cyrus Chestnut\, Ralph Peterson Jr.\, Rachel Therrien\, Jason Palmer\, L’Orchestre national du jazz de Montréal\, Basia Bulat\, Tim Kingsbury (Arcade Fire)\, Jake Clemons (E Street Band)\, U.S. Girls\, Geneviève Racette and Laura Niquay. Her collaborations have garnered nominations and wins for JUNO\, Golden Globe\, Academy\, Polaris\, Iris\, RIDM and HotDocs Awards. In 2017\, she earned a spot as one of CBC Music’s 35 best Canadian jazz artists under 35. She has taught at McGill University & Conservatory\, Berklee College of Music\, McGill Executive Institute\, Malta Jazz Festival\, Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival\, Prince Edward County Jazz Festival\, McGill University School of Continuing Studies and the University of Manitoba – and is currently on faculty at Brandon University. \n \nEric Platz is a drummer whose creative work intersects with Jazz\, Americana\, North African\, and Contemporary Improvised music. As a member of singer Carrie Rodriguez’s band\, Eric toured extensively throughout North America\, appeared on “Austin City Limits”\, performed with Bill Frisell and Lucinda Williams\, and collaborated with producer Lee Townsend on the recording Love and Circumstance.
