Students’ Union: Land's End Ensemble

Continuing the partnership with Mount Royal University’s Conservatory Land's End Ensemble is thrilled to present the second concert of their residency featuring students of their program!

After their successful concert last season Land's End brings you more exciting works that push the boundaries of today’s performance practices and sonic experiences. Featured works include Steve Reich’s classic work Clapping Music, Frank Ticheli’s minimalist-inspired In C Dorian, and Mary Kouyoumdjian’s Moerae inspired by the Greek mythology of the three fates.

Enjoy two world premieres: A Species of Wonder a new work for mixed ensemble by acclaimed JUNO Award-winning composer Allan Gordon Bell and Dragonfly an exhilarating trio by Michael van der Sloot. The program also features Four Paintings by Leestemaker a richly textured piano sextet by Vincent Ho.

The concert will conclude with Louis Andriessen’s Workers Union. Written for “any loud-sounding group of instruments” this politically charged work unites all performers on stage for an unforgettable conclusion.
