Info

In 1972 canonic composer Luciano Berio visited Toronto for New Music Concerts’ first ever concert series. 52 years later we celebrate this legacy with a hybrid film and concert performance at the Paradise Theatre. This unmissable occasion presents newly created concert films of three Berio Sequenzas in dialogue with live performances of new commissions by Canadian composers.
