And after two years of keeping calm and carrying on, Sonic Boom is back live and in person for four concerts, March 11-13, in the bijoux Pyatt Hall and the Orpheum Annex.
Edward Top is in residence this season, and the featured artists are Valerie Whitney, horn, and the McGregor-Verdejo flute and guitar duo. The McGregor-Verdejo Duo was formed in 2016 by guitarist Adrian Verdejo and flutist Mark Takeshi McGregor. While they perform a wide and diverse repertoire, they’ve made it their mission to work with contemporary composers and already have a remarkable record of commissioning new works. McGregor recently received the 2021 Friends of Canadian Music Award from the Canadian League of Composers and the Canadian Music Centre.
The second mixed ensemble program has a buffet of works for all manner of combinations on Saturday, March 12, 7:30 p.m., also at Pyatt Hall.
