2023 Tour Program:

In search of a classical Canadian musical identity that engages listeners from all backgrounds, the duo meagan&amy explores connections between several Canadian compositions and works from the traditional canon of classical repertoire. Their goal is to open a discussion with Canadian audiences about what it is that makes classical Canadian music, "Canadian". Their program pairs Canadian composers including a recently commissioned piece by Jocelyn Morlock with well-known icons such as Mozart that influenced these contemporary composers. This is an opportunity to discover a shared musical heritage that, while inspired by composers of centuries past, continues to develop its own Canadian character.

Sonata No. 27 in G major, K. 379 by W. A. Mozart (1756-1791)

Alba by Jocelyn Morlock (1969-2023)                    

Kaddish by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

Adieu Babylon by Sid Robinovitch (b. 1942) 

V’la le bon vent by Daniel Janke (b. 1957)

Program Concept

In search of a classical Canadian musical identity, the duo meagan&amy explores connections between several Canadian compositions and works from the traditional canon of classical repertoire. Selected as winners of the first Pan-Canadian Partnership Recital Tour, they will open a discussion with Canadian audiences in all thirteen provinces and territories about what it is that makes classical Canadian music, "Canadian". Their program pairs Canadian composers including Jocelyn Morlock (BC), Dinuk Wijeratne (NS/ON), David McIntyre (SK) and André Mathieu (QC) with well-known icons that influenced these contemporary composers including Moza​rt, Bartok, Shostakovich and Debussy. This is an opportunity to discover a shared musical heritage that, while inspired by composers of centuries past, continues to develop its own Canadian character.

CONCEPT de concert

À la recherche d'une identité canadienne en musique classique, le duo, meagan&amy, a voulu explorer les connexions entre certaines compositions canadiennes et des chefs d'œuvres du répertoire classique. En tant que gagnantes de la Tournée pancanadienne, elles ont eu envie, avec les auditeurs canadiens des treize provinces et territoires, de nous poser la question suivante : « En quoi la musique classique canadienne est-elle spécifiquement canadienne ? » Leur répertoire souligne l'influence de figures incontournables comme Mozart, Bartok, Shostakovich et Debussy sur des compositeurs canadiens tels que Jocelyn Morlock (BC), Dinuk Wijeratne (NS/ON), David McIntyre (SK) et André Mathieu (QC). Elles espèrent que vous apprécierez à quel point cette musique classique, bien qu’inspirée des compositeurs des siècles passés, continue de développer encore aujourd’hui sa propre identité toute canadienne.
