Research and creation residency with pianist Philip Thomas – University of Huddersfield CeReNeM – April 30 to May 4 2012
During the week of April 30 through May 4, 2012, Cassandra’s work will be supported by and contribute toward the vision of CeReNeM, the centre for research in new music at the University of Huddersfield. CeReNeM’s research team brings together researchers and artists at the cutting edge of contemporary music performance, composition and new sonic media. Cassandra’s visit will mark the beginnings of a new relationship, instigated by the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and the Bozzini String Quartet, between young Canadian and UK composers. During her residency she will work with Philip Thomas, toward the composition of a new work for solo piano to be premiered at the 2012 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and to be performed across the UK and Canada in the spring of 2013 (commission made possible with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts).
