Our first presentation/workshop of the season will take place on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at 5:30pm. Members of ContaQt New Music will discuss and demonstrate the aesthetic and technical elements of online rehearsal and collaboration.

Like many ensembles at the onset of the initial pandemic lockdowns, ContaQt was faced with discovering new ways to musically engage with each other and audiences. Led by the research and experimentation of Jerry Pergolesi and Andrew Noseworthy, and with technological facilitation by Jeff Morton, and online performance mentoring with Tina Pearson, we developed a means to play together in real-time from our isolated locations using a combination of digital audio workstations and the audio transmitter plugin, AudioMovers’ ListenTo.

Tickets are free for CLC and CMC members, 10$ for general tickets:

ContaQt

ContaQt combines 21st Century new-classical and experimental music with the sensibilities of rock and jazz to form a hybrid ensemble that defies genres. Praised by the Globe and Mail as “thought-provoking” and “highly entertaining”, and by the New York Times as “mesmerizing” ContaQt has premiered works by emerging and established Canadian and international composers and has performed at venues and new music festivals around the world. ContaQt is dedicated to interdisciplinary collaborations, nurturing and facilitating the creation, production, presentation and engagement with new music in all contexts, forms and variations and creating outreach opportunities with Canada’s diverse communities in order to enrich people’s experience with sound. In addition to concerts, recordings and touring, ContaQt hosts Music from Scratch, a summer workshop for youth.
