Arraymusic’s annual premieres  features an exciting set of new works by acclaimed composers from Ontario and abroad. 

Ontario composer Julia Mermelstein’s Capsule for bass clarinet and electronics explores the sonic intimacy of small spaces, while John Mark Sherlock (ON) transforms the hubcaps and brake drums from his trusty 1988 Chevrolet G10 van into a metal instrument constellation for his solo percussion work Ne jetez pas de corps étrangers dans les étoiles (Do not throw foreign bodies into the stars). Bruce A. Russell contributes a yet-unheard work for solo piano, while Sheila Jaffe performs the Canadian premiere of a solo viola work by internationally acclaimed composer Oscar Bettison. Finally, Toronto's own Amahl Arulanandam performs his own most recent work for cello and electronics and Seung-Won Oh's 2003 percussion work Circle receives an overdue Canadian premiere.
