Firebird 2011
Turning Point Ensemble (Vancouver)
Winner: Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award for Music, 2011
“Conductor Owen Underhill has made Vancouver’s newest new-music ensemble a marvel of empathetic precision.” – Georgia Straight
The Turning Point Ensemble is one of Canada's leading large chamber ensembles with a mandate of linking the present to great works of music from the past. With Firebird 2011, the ensemble brings us two exciting premieres. The first debuts a concert performance of a new arrangement of Stravinsky’s Firebird by Michael Bushnell. The second features an entirely new Firebird choreographed by Simone Orlando, with new music by composer Jocelyn Morlock. The latter is also written for the 16-member Turning Point Ensemble and performed by one of Vancouver’s most innovative contemporary dance troupes, Move: the company.
Collaborators include Turning Point Ensemble (instrumentalists), Owen Underhill (artistic coordinator), Simone Orlando (choreographer), Jocelyn Morlock (composer), Michael Bushnell (arranger) and Move: the company with Josh Beamish (dancers and artistic director).
