“Bethune” returns to Gravenhurst
Composer / guitarist TIM BRADY tours chamber opera
“Three Cities in the Life of Dr. Norman Bethune” and releases two new CDs
Montreal composer and electric guitar virtuoso Tim Brady will be touring Eastern Canada this October with a production of his multi- media opera, Three Cities in the Life of Dr. Norman Bethune. Originally commissioned by Radio-Canada in 2003, the compelling work recounts the story of the last 5 years in the life of the celebrated Canadian surgeon and humanitarian. The text for the 50-minute, 1-act opera is drawn from Dr. Bethune’s own letters, along with poems by Dorothy Livesay (Canada), Raphael Alberti (Spain) and Lu Xun (China) from the 1930’s.
The tour is highlighted by a 4-night run in Gravenhurst, Ontario, the birthplace of Norman Bethune, presented by the Gravenhurst Opera House on October 6, 7, 8 and 9. “Three Cities in the Life of Dr. Norman Bethune” will also be presented at Guelph University on October 3, and at Maison de la culture Frontenac in Montreal on October 11. Performed by Brady’s ensemble Bradyworks, the opera stars baritone Michael Donovan as Dr. Bethune. Preceding the performance of Three Cities in the Life of Dr. Norman Bethune, Brady will be performing solo works for guitar, with video projections by video artist Martin Messier.
The opera production includes video projections of rare archival footage of Montreal, Spain and China in the 1930’s, adding a stunning visual element to Donovan’s passionate performance. Known for the warmth and suppleness of his voice combined with a mature and intelligent musicianship, Michael Donovan is an exciting young recitalist and new music interpreter. His riveting stage presence has endeared him to audiences and critics alike.
Bradyworks on CD
Bradyworks and Donovan released a CD of “Three Cities in the Life of Dr. Norman Bethune” in November 2005, on the Ambiances Magnétiques label (AM 139). In addition, Brady is releasing two new CDs to coincide with this tour: GO [guitar obsession], on Ambiances Magnétiques, and 3 Solos – Bradyworks on the Canadian Music Centre’s Centrediscs label, which features the music of R. Murray Schafer. Both CDs feature strong solo performances by Brady as a guitarist, confirming again why the American magazine Guitar Player called him “one of the 30 most important guitarists in the world for the future of the instrument”. As a composer, Brady has been performed and commissioned by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Winnipeg Symphony, Radio-France and many other renowned ensembles.

Cost: $7
Chris Becker (laptop) and Lewis 'Flip' Barnes (trumpet) perform Becker's sound installation/composition Cornell Box for laptop, four speakers, and trumpet. This performance of Cornell Box also features choreography by Rachel Cohen.
Cornell Box is an homage to Queens county surrealist Joseph Cornell. Prerecorded sounds of vinyl records, quasi-Impressionistic piano (performed by pianist Daniel Kelly) and dialogue from the film "To Have And To Have Not" surround the audience to create the experience of being inside one of Cornell's mysterious box constructions. 'Flip' Barnes' trumpet will add an additional layer of character and emotion to this aural homage to one of New York's most influential, hermetic and mysterious artists.
Cornell Box is part of an evening length program of works by friends of choreographer Rachel Cohen and Racoco Productions (Racoco Shows The Inside). The program alsoincludes performances by mezzo-soprano Lainie Diamond, clown Jeff Seal, choreographer Ariane Anthony and highlights of the Racoco repertory and works-in-progress.

Meira Warshauer�s In Memoriam September 11, 2001 for solo cello will be performed as part of a very special fifth anniversary memorial concert on September 11 � 5 PM at the Theodor-Zink-Museum, Steinstrasse 48 in Kaiserslautern, Germany
The performer for this work will be cellist Stephen Breith, who will be joined by pianist Jens Barnieck for other selections by Reza Vali, Trevor Weston, Alan Hovhaness and Isaac de Camondo.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information about this concert, please contact the Museum at +49-(0)631-3652327 or visit them online at http://www.kaiserslautern.de/index.html?lang=de.
Cellist Robert Jesselson has written of the work, �In Memoriam is a very moving tribute to the victims of the September 11 tragedy, and to all victims of war and terror. It invariably touches the listener not by an angry reaction to the events, but through a soulful and elegiac sigh of remembrance. Although there is no specific programmatic aspect to the music, audiences sometimes hear their own images of the events in the music, including the slow descent of the thousands of papers floating down from the towers".

Anti-Social Music and His Name is Alive join forces for a three-day four-event residency in New York City called COME OUT THE WILDERNESS, starting with a peaceful prayer meditation in a park, ending with a midnight bell jam in the street, and with shows at Mercury Lounge and Tonic in between.
Help celebrate INTERNATIONAL PEACE WEEK with punk-chamber music group Anti-Social Music (ASM), and Detroit-based band His Name Is Alive (HNIA) who will provide everything from earth-toned outdoor folk music to mountains of extreme sunshine jams. COME OUT THE WILDERNESS is a performance- based piece and a three-day celebration of peace, nature, wolves, chamber music, and magical vibrations!! !
----- - - - - --- -- - - -- --------- - - - - --- - - -- ---------
ARTIST STATEMENT by warn defever
"COME OUT THE WILDERNESS" is performance/ event-oriented piece that celebrates a child's earliest memories, a primal love/fear of nature, and hope for a peaceful world. It was originally conceived as a "peace conference." In 1972, when I was three years old, my mother gave birth to twin boys. Several months later during a Labor Day vacation, my family was visiting
relatives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and one of the twins, Michael, was attacked and killed by a wolf, commonly found in the northern region of the state. His brother, Matthew, survived somehow. Upon arriving back in the Detroit area and shortly following the funeral, my parents changed my middle name to Michael, as a sort of memorial. This experience is one of my earliest memories.
In 2002, I attended a "peace walk" led by Thich Nhat Hanh, a gentle monk from Vietnam whose vaguely Buddhist writings teach that world peace can only be brought about through individual internal transformation. The deceptively simplistic nature of this act profoundly affected my life. In 2005, I found a folk song, performed by Mississippi Fred MacDowell
called �Come Out Of The Wilderness,� in which the Wilderness seems to be a metaphor for living without religion in your life. The Wilderness as depicted in the Bible is where Jesus is tested for 40 days and where the Israelites spend 40 years on their journey to the Promised Land. In my piece the Wilderness is not a metaphor but simply refers to nature, the woods, organic food, and drinking fermented "muddy water out of a hollow log."
NOTES
1. A peace walk is a form of non-violent protest in which protesters march a distance, often to raise money for a charity.
2. HIS NAME IS ALIVE are a difficult band to categorize. Their sound is constantly evolving. Their sound is consistently unique. They made their name with expressionistic experiments for the 4ad label. Later music is guided by more graceful concerns.
3. Wilderness is defined by the State of Michigan as "non-managed, roadless areas."
4. COME OUT THE WILDERNESS is not a "staged" event, it is participatory and requires very few materials.
