In this physically impressive and touching creation\, duo Agathe Bisserier and Adrien Malette-Chénier push the limits and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms.   \nRecent graduates of the famed Circus School of Québec\, Agathe and Adrien have developed a unique\, highly physical circus and dance vocabulary. The duo has worked with renowned cirque companies on European tours and circus festivals worldwide. \nN.Ormes will challenge you to question your own assumptions through a touching and intimate journey that will move you with a perfect blend of tears and laughter. \nRecommended for ages 17 and older.

So\, they turned towards independent circus creations presented in Quebec\, including Branché\, Piece of Mind\, Interact\, and N.Ormes.  \n Tired of the obsolete and toxic patterns of male/female relationships present in the circus world today\, the duo combines the codes of circus\, contemporary dance and performance art to create a rich\, complex acrobatic language\, as a part of a feminist approach to redefining standards.  \n  \nDirection and interpretation: Agathe Bisserier and Adrien Malette-Chénier  \nLighting conception: Claire Seyller  \nMusical composition: Simon Leoza  \nCostume conception: Sophie El Assad  \nOutside Eyes – Choreography: Stacey Desilier  \nOutside Eyes – Dramaturgy: Agathe Foucault\, Stéphane Crête. \nCo-produced by Acting for Climate – Montreal [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe9318-c9b8″]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439163719{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

That performance marked the beginning of 64 years of unrivaled creativity\, and in the decades that followed\, Mr. Taylor became a cultural icon and one of American history’s most celebrated artists\, and was part of the pantheon that created American modern dance. Leading the Company that bears his name until his death in 2018\, Mr. Taylor molded it into one of the preeminent performing ensembles in the world. Under the artistic direction of Taylor alumnus Michael Novak\, the Company continues to bring “America’s most communicative and wildly theatrical modern dance” to audiences and students around the world\, with a yearly residency at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. \nThe Company currently resides in the Lower East Side of Manhattan but sustains a global presence through its robust touring programs. Since its first European tour in 1960\, the Company has performed in more than 600 cities in 66 countries\, representing the United States at arts festivals in more than 40 countries and touring extensively under the aegis of the U.S. Department of State. Dedicated to sharing modern dance with the broadest possible audience\, the Company tours annually\, both domestically and internationally\, with performances and a variety of educational programs and engagement offerings. Recent tours have brought the Company to Argentina\, Brazil\, Chile\, China\, Ecuador\, Germany\, Italy\, Oman\, Peru\, Switzerland\, Taiwan\, and Turkey\, as well as scores of cities within the United States.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbebe67-ce35″]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439235469{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

SUMMARY:Mnozil Brass

Hailed as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles\, this group blends classical\, jazz\, folk and pop with sketch comedy\, silly songs and side-splitting buffoonery on their trumpets\, trombones\, French horn and tuba. Mnozil Brass takes its name from Gasthaus Mnozil\, a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory\, where seven young music students met and began playing at a monthly open mic in 1992. 30 years later\, Mnozil Brass performs for sold-out houses around the world. Jubilee\, its 2023 album on Universal\, cheekily pays tribute and celebrates Mnozil Brass’s greatest hits and new works. \n\nThomas Gansch\, trumpet \nRobert Rother\, trumpet \nRoman Rindberger\, trumpet \nLeonhard Paul\, trombone & bass trumpet \nGerhard Füßl\, trombone \nZoltan Kiss\, trombone \nWilfried Brandstötter\, tuba \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]PROGRAM[vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h2″ style=”flat” gap=”3″ active_section=”0″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE BAND” tab_id=”1693319199255-e86b10cd-a331d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed118-f939″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]MNOZIL BRASS has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. With over 130 performances a year\, the group has sold out houses from the farthest reaches of the European continent to Israel\, China\, Taiwan\, Japan\, Australia\, Canada\, and the United States\, and has captivated audiences with their blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit. No wonder their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans have travelled countless miles to hear them play.  \nThe group’s recent returns to North America were hailed as “seriously funny” and “whimsically brazen.” Their shows include Yes! Yes! Yes!\, which blends original compositions with classical favorites\, jazz standards\, and popular hits; Cirque\, where the musicians combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor\, and transform the stage into a musical flea circus; Gold\, showcasing their greatest hits; and their latest Jubliee\, which celebrates their 30 years together with new works and Mnozil Brass favorites. A recording of Jubilee will be released in 2023 on Universal. As always\, the repertoire is presented with the group’s iconic humour and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python.   \nMnozil Brass take their name from the “Gasthaus Mnozil\,” a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory\, where\, in 1992\, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open-mic. Since then\, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop; all executed with the same fearlessness\, immense technical skill\, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (almost impossible to find an English translation\, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!).   \nIn their time away from touring\, Mnozil Brass has recorded 8 albums and 6 DVDs. They’ve collaborated on three operetta and opera productions\, and composed and recorded the music for the 2006 film “Freundschaft.” The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006.  [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1739907811886-2adcbbcb-ff6b”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Thomas Gansch | Born in Melk an der Donau\, Thomas is one of the band’s founding members. By the time he turned the tender age of 17\, he was already playing at the Vienna State Opera. However\, his love of jazz was stronger\, and led him to become one of the most versatile trumpeters in Austria\, one who can play jazz\, classical\, crossover and everything in between. He is a whirlwind on stage and can tell a good joke or two\, as well. When he has time off\, he composes for Mnozil Brass.  \n  \n  \n  \nRobert Rother | Like Thomas\, Robert also hails from Melk an der Donau. As children\, the two of them played in a brass band conducted by Thomas’s very strict father. Polkas\, waltzes\, and marches were always on the program – a good learning experience\, it seems! Now\, Robert can engender a tone with so much longing and feeling that it is guaranteed to bring anyone to tears. Unlike Thomas\, Robert hardly moves on stage at all and lets the music speak for itself.  \n  \n  \n  \nRoman Rindberger | Roman was born into a musical family and played folk music as a youngster with his father and two brothers. His father Hans\, in turn\, would meet up with Gerhard Füßl’s father Franz because the families lived nearby. Roman loves technical passages and renders them with the precision of a Swiss clockmaker. And he even knows how the instruments work! If anyone wants to know more about brass music\, Roman is the man for you. On stage\, his character is the Latin Lover. \n  \n  \n  \nLeonhard Paul | Leonhard was born in Mödling near Vienna and is the first musician his family has ever produced. (Though there was a grandfather who earned his money as a painter and whose pictures hang in every other house in the better parts of Vienna!) Recently\, the other members of the band have started to get a little concerned about him because he seems to have taken a liking to shady characters on stage. Everyone wants to play the hero\, but Leonhard likes roles that show the darker side of man. No one knows exactly what’s going on in his head!  \n  \n  \n  \nGerhard Füßl | Gerhard grew up near where Roman lived\, and also had a father who taught him a lot about brass music. He is the most well-liked in the group. Probably because he looks after the financial matters. Everyone tries to keep on his good side\, and no one wants to incur his wrath. For his part\, he is usually friendly to all.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nZoltan Kiss | Austrian folk music was certainly not part of Zoltan’s upbringing. He was born in Budapest\, spent some time in Poland\, and finally settled in Vienna\, where he plays trombone in four languages. One of the group’s favorite games is to put some really difficult music in front of him and see if he can play it. He usually can! His technical skills take your breath away. Bets have been placed as to when and how something will be written that he can not master\, but\, so far\, high\, low\, slow\, fast\, he can play it all!  \n  \n  \n  \nWilfried Brandstötter | He started his stellar career playing the recorder\, subsequently joining the boys’ choir. After that\, it was the violin\, followed by the trumpet\, before finally feeling comfortable and at ease with the tuba. So\, speed is not quite his business. To him\, life is a slow and wide river. His ambition consists of making all concert halls\, including the audience seated herein\, feel the pleasant vibrations he’s producing with the help of low tones from his tuba. He does not understand how people get thrilled by fast\, high-pitched melodies.  \n  \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”LINKS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbed118-f939″]FacebookInstagramYoutube[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439284714{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

And the many crossings-out\, careful corrections and fragments of quartet movements from this period of Mozart’s life bear this out. Nowhere else did he labor so painstakingly over his music. “Please\, then\, receive them kindly and be to them as a father\, a guide\, a friend\,” Mozart (a generation younger than Haydn) continues. “I entreat you to be indulgent to those faults that may have escaped a father’s partial eye\, and\, in spite of them\, to continue your generous friendship towards one who so highly appreciates it.” \nThe magnificent and disturbing C major Quartet is the crowning point of Mozart’s six ‘Haydn’ quartets. The work is true evidence of Mozart’s triumph in emulating Haydn in his Op. 33 collection of quartets from 1782\, and achieving a balance of structure\, musical style and emotion. Mozart began work on the six quartets not long after moving from Salzburg to Vienna. It was then that he began to hear music by Bach and Handel on a regular basis at weekly gatherings in the Vienna home of Baron van Swieten. The power of contrapuntal writing began to have a deep and increasing effect on Mozart’s own part-writing at the time. The effect is at its most acute in the unsettling dissonances of the opening 22 measures of the C major Quartet. They give the work a nickname (‘Dissonance’) and arise from a synthesis of free counterpoint and chromatic\, ‘highly spiced’ harmonies\, to use a term that was often thrown at the mature Mozart. The dissonances are calculated to shock – so much so that people at first accused Mozart of releasing the printed music without having carefully proofed the parts! Even half a century later\, Belgian music theorist François-Joseph Fétis proposed a ‘fix’ to Mozart’s strident harmonies by moving the first violin entry one beat earlier. Many applauded the idea; few went along with it. Today were the opening to be played with this crass insensitivity to Mozart’s boldness\, it’s certain that the stone statue of the Don Giovanni Commendatore would appear on stage to sort things out. The suspense and tension created by the dissonance is released in the ensuing Allegro. The profound\, aching Andante cantabile is one of the most sublime movements Mozart wrote. Throughout the chromatic minuet and serene finale\, the musical invention and disciplined working-out of short motifs are exemplary. \n–Note by Keith Horner \n  \nBILLY CHILDS (b. 1957)\nString Quartet No. 3 “Unrequited” \nUnrequited\, String Quartet #3\, was conceived as a commentary on the story of Intimate Letters: String Quartet #2\, by Leos Janácek. The first thing – the only thing\, really – that popped into my mind was the tragedy of unrequited love (hence the name\, Unrequited). When I first heard Janacek’s Intimate Letters performed live\, the emotion of the piece jumped out at me: the wild shifts of tempo\, the beautiful and plaintive melodies\, the stark dynamic contrasts. I wanted to illustrate my perspective on this strange relationship between Janácek and Kamila Stösslová\, by telling the story of a man who goes through different phases of emotion\, before finally coming to terms with the fact that his love for her is one-sided – it will never be returned the way he would like. I sought to compose Unrequited so that it moves\, like the five stages of grief\, through a variety emotions – from romantic\, pure love\, through paranoid\, obsessive\, neurotic possessiveness\, arriving finally at despondent acceptance. \nThis piece was commissioned by Madelyn\, Jerald\, and Lee Jackrel and is dedicated to and premiered by the Lyris Quartet. \n—Note by Billy Childs \n  \nLUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN\nBorn in Bonn\, Germany\, baptized December 17\, 1770; died in Vienna\, Austria\, March 26\, 1827\nString Quartet in E-flat major\, Op. 127 \nLudwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a decade into what critics call his late period when he composed his String Quartet No. 12 in E-flat Major\, Op. 127 (1825). It had been 15 years since he wrote his Quartet No. 11\, a work he deemed so radical that he didn’t want it performed. Money from a commission convinced him to revisit the genre\, setting off a late-life sequence of quartets even more iconoclastic. This quartet is perhaps the most lyrical of the set and\, coming off the composition of his great celebration of joy in the 9th Symphony\, the most exuberant. \nThe beginning maestoso chorale appears simple\, but it is incredibly ambitious\, offering the listener the most basic form of four-part writing that every student learns\, as if to say\, this quartet will contain everything. It is also an affirmation\, as is what follows. Beethoven\, though often considered the Classical to Romantic bridge\, wanted to reclaim his classically inclined aesthetic in this period. An oversimplified tenet for the Romantics is that content dictates form. For Beethoven\, form was a primary driver in the creation of his best writing. Commentary often focuses on the radicalism of the late quartets\, and of course they are radical\, but the paradox is that their originality emerges from Beethoven’s impulse toward conservatism\, a retreat from certain contemporary trends to expand and loosen formal constraints. In this quartet\, the retreat is toward Bach\, Handel\, and the baroque\, with an emphasis on contrapuntal writing and heightened clarity of form. \nThe quartet promptly gets on with the business of restless counterpoint. In the context of the maestoso\, each new theme sounds as if it has been gathered from a disassembled chorale and scattered across the Haydn-esque sonata allegro form. Typical of Beethoven’s late quartets\, shifts are abrupt and transitions are unceremonious\, creating moments of comprehensive disintegration and unease in preparation for resolution. \nThe second movement is a theme and variations\, a form Beethoven was somewhat obsessed with in his late period. The six variations\, unlike some of Beethoven’s related works from this period\, do not reach for higher and higher levels of virtuosity\, but simply and steadily unearth the inherent depth of one of the most beautiful melodies the composer ever wrote. \nThe buzzing scherzo contains the most intricate contrapuntal writing of the piece. It is a masterclass in anticipation and deception – just when a phrase feels that it is settling in\, it will stop abruptly\, or a unison shout will compel it to a new section. \nThe final movement does not reconvene themes from the previous movements as is often the case\, but introduces two fresh themes\, a flowing melody whose shape is reminiscent of the first theme of the piece\, and a joyous march that propels with its decisive articulation and wide open harmonic accompaniment. The great pleasure of this movement is its ending\, a contrasting coda in a shifted key and meter announced suddenly by a violin trill\, the same technique that brought the quartet out of the maestoso at the start. It is Beethoven’s classicism shining through: clarity and unity\, from beginning to end. \n—Note by Connor Buckley[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”ABOUT THE ARTISTS” tab_id=”1693319199265-12d1aca6-b957d3d4-3651d927-88d77692-edbe13da-250f”][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”] \nWinners of a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant\, and the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022\, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit\, rediscover\, and reinvigorate the repertory.  The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were brand new\, and the new as if it were firmly established.’  \nThe members of the quartet are violinists ADRIAN STEELE and PHOENIX AVALON\, violist DEVIN MOORE\, and cellist JOSHUA MCCLENDON. The four began as an ensemble at the Juilliard School\, and following a break during the global pandemic reconvened at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival in the summer of 2021 under the tutelage of Joel Krosnick.  In addition to Mr. Krosnick\, the ISQ has coached with Joseph Lin\, Astrid Schween\, Laurie Smukler\, Joseph Kalichstein\, Roger Tapping\, Misha Amory\, Timothy Eddy\, Donald Weilerstein\, Atar Arad\, Robert McDonald\, Christoph Richter\, Miriam Fried\, and Paul Biss.  \n Their Banff triumph brings extensive tours of North America and Europe\, a two-year appointment as the Peak Fellowship Ensemble-in-Residence at Southern Methodist University in Dallas beginning in 2023-24\, plus a two-week residency at Banff Centre including a professionally produced recording\, along with extensive ongoing coaching\, career guidance\, and mentorship.  \nThe Isidore Quartet has appeared on major series in Chicago\, Pittsburgh\, Seattle\, Durham\, Washington (JFK Center)\, San Antonio\, Toronto\, Montreal\, and Ottawa\, and has collaborated with a number of eminent performers including James Ehnes\, Jeremy Denk\, Shai Wosner\, and Jon Nakamatsu.  Their 23/24 season will feature appearances in Berkeley (Cal Performances)\, Boston (Celebrity Series)\, Washington DC (Phillips Collection)\, New York (92nd St. Y)\, Chicago\, Baltimore\, Ann Arbor\, Denver\, Houston\, Indianapolis\, Tucson\, Phoenix\, Santa Fe\, La Jolla\, Aspen\, Vancouver\, Calgary\, Edmonton\, and at Dartmouth College\, and Spivey Hall in Georgia\, among many others.  European highlights include Edinburgh\, Lucerne\, Brussels\, Amsterdam\, Hanover\, Frankfurt\, and Hamburg’s Elb Philharmonie. \nOutside the concert hall the quartet has worked with PROJECT: MUSIC HEALS US providing encouragement\, education\, and healing to marginalized communities – including elderly\, disabled\, rehabilitating incarcerated and homeless populations – who otherwise have limited access to high-quality live music performance.  They have also been resident ensemble for the Contemporary Alexander School/Alexander Alliance International.  In conjunction with those well-versed in the world of Alexander Technique\, as well as other performers\, the ISQ explores the vast landscape of body awareness\, mental preparation\, and performance practice.  \nThe name Isidore recognizes the ensemble’s musical connection to the Juilliard Quartet:  one of that group’s early members was legendary violinist Isidore Cohen.  Additionally\, it acknowledges a shared affection for a certain libation – legend has it a Greek monk named Isidore concocted the first genuine vodka recipe for the Grand Duchy of Moscow![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1722439499865{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column]SELECT YOUR SEATS[vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Please click on the seats you would like to purchase (maximum 8 tickets per order).

This is a one-act play\, with a small cast of combat veterans and military family members playing multiple roles. An elegy is a lament for the dead\, therefore all scenes take place somewhere in the afterlife\, spanning different times from Danny’s youth and military career from May 1989 until he died in 2015. \nWar comes with many costs\, some more obvious than others. The physical wounds and loss of life are tragic but visible\, and burdens that are readily shared. Unfortunately\, there are hundreds of thousands of military veterans and family members for whom the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are still being waged\, at home.

He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus\, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company\, Circus Baobob\, with whom he toured Africa and Europe.   \nIn the early 2000’s\, Yamoussa was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize\, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company.  While in Canada he also performed with Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia (cirque with horses).  In 2007\, Yamoussa realized his dream and opened his own company\, Kalabanté Productions\, in Montreal\, Canada. He recruited many of his extended family members to join the company\, including his twin sisters\, brothers\, and cousins.  \nThe company began doing shows in Quebec\, and over the years expanded to all of Canada\, the USA and now performs worldwide.  In 2018\, Kalabanté opened their own studio and school in Montreal\, offering classes in African dance\, cirque\, and drumming.  \nKalabanté Productions is proud to be able to share their work\, achievements and skills to inspire others and to assist with the humanitarian mission to help the Guinean community from which Yamoussa and many of his company members come. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”THE TEAM” tab_id=”1728055805514-b1a2d73e-bae1″][vc_column_text font_family=”Copernicus”]Yamoussa Bangoura – Founder of Kalabanté Productions\, juggler\, singer\, kora player\, wheel artist\, acrobat and dancer. \nMama Adama Soumah – contortionist\, dancer \nMmahawa Soumah – contortionist\, dancer \nMohamed Ben Sylla – contortionist \nAlya Sylla – acrobat \nIsmael Bangoura – acrobat \nAlseny Camara – acrobat \nYamoussa Soumah – acrobat \nMoussa Youla – acrobat \nSeuss Fu-Rubin – saxophone \nAbdelhak Benmedjebari – bass \nKevin T Jones – drums \nChloé Drolet – Technical Manager \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”SOCIAL MEDIA” tab_id=”1728057125735-d94e36f6-5a57″]FacebookInstagram[/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ el_id=”Tickets”][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” local_scroll_id=”h1″ css=”.vc_custom_1689962444644{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/NqgWWX6_P84″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true” el_id=”accessibility” css=”.vc_custom_1689962483149{margin-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]ACCESSIBILITYPlease note that the Norton Center is a historic venue with limited accessible seating.
