Christopher Willes presents a new 'concert-installation': Corrals In Corrals a large ensemble of musicians and resonating sculptural materials simultaneously perform a concert and an exhibition in a state of emergence In and through Corrals both audience and performers are invited to share a listening space where the organization of bodies both physical and aural are continually renewed

Ensemble Paramirabo named for a work by the late Montreal composer Claude Vivier is comprised of Jeffrey Stonehouse flute Franois Gagn clarinet Genevive Liboiron violin Viviana Gosselin cello and Gabrielle Gingras piano The Ensemble presents creative programming with a focus on new compositions that embrace collaborations with other artists and stretches the boundaries of the traditional concert experience Their program for this event will consist of world premieres by emerging composers and an arrangement of Frank Zappas Im the Slime & Fifty-Fifty by Symon Henry
