Dean Artists’ Rebecca Cuddy premieres VOICES OF MOUNTAINS with the Canadian Opera Company, a collaborative celebration of identity and music making. Rebecca is joined by mezzo-soprano Marion Newman, pianist Gordon Gerrard, and dancer/choreography Aria Evans for this interdisciplinary program.
Produced by Dorian Cox, with dramaturgy by Julie McIsaac, the program features works from Fauré and Elgar, to Brian Current and Tomson Highway. A highlight on the program is Ian Cusson’s “Fire”, the work’s world premiere.
This will also be an artistic “double-bill” for Rebecca! Rebecca was commissioned by the COC for “where the water meets land” - an installation that combines immersive sound, Rebecca’s beadwork, as well as an accompanying land acknowledgement text. “where the water meets land” will premiere in conjunction with Voice of Mountains and will be featured in advance of all COC digital offerings this season. A true multi-disciplinary artist, Rebecca is the first creator to be commissioned as a part of the COC’s Land Acknowledgement Commissioning program.
