Musique Royale Presents- Tong Wang
Musique Royale Presents- Tong Wang
photo credit: Raoul Manuel Schnell
Musique Royale presents Tong Wang at Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance Friday February 20 at 7pm for “Towards the Flame”. “Towards the Flame” is a program of darkness and light, of fire and ice. From Chopin and Scriabin’s tragic epics, transfused with dignity and pain, to Ho and Stravinsky’s kaleidoscopic, mystical fairytales, the music traverses through many realms of extraordinary intensity and anguish. Each of these works contain a unique universe of their own, but they all come down to the same shared human pathos: the duality of suffering and hope, grief and joy–the coexistence of hope and despair, shadow and light. There’s a musical journey that parallels the emotional journey we often find ourselves repeating in our lives. Even knowing the pain that is inevitable with love, tenderness, and vulnerability, how must we face and embrace our struggles, limitations, and fears? How can we come to terms with the darkest moments we want to redefine? Do we dare to raise ourselves to the light? Ultimately, “Towards the Flame” is a story of courage, belief, and acceptance.

The Librarians with Q&A
Winter Film Series: The Librarians
It’s movie day at LAMP! Join us for an afternoon showing of “The Librarians” with Q&A to follow. This is a film based on struggles taking place in the United States, however it is important to share as we face book censorship across our own regions within Canada.
Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities.
In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQia+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

Canadian jazz guitarist and composer, Roddy Ellias brings five decades of unique and compelling music to the world. With an eclectic approach that defies simple classification , Roddy has developed an innovative guitar style that intricately melds classical, African and Brazillian musical ideas within a deep tradition of jazz.
His musical journey began at the age of five, when he started improvising on his grandmother’s piano. Decades later, he continues to explore new musical possibilities, developing his unusual composition and playing approach.
From the early days at Uncle Charlie’s Chicken and Ribs Jazz Joint to performing for the Queen of England to creating a unique chamber jazz opera with puppets, Roddy has carved a musical space for himself unlike any other. Along the way, he’s also enjoyed performing with many of the greats, including Lee Konitz, David Liebman, Kenny Wheeler, Cleo Laine, Tom Harrell and Nat Adderley.

Chamber Music
“Intuition” - Chamber Music Series
Katherine Yoon (violin), Yeh-Chun Lin (percussion), Macintyre Taback (cello), Lindsay McIntyre (percussion), & Anna Han, (piano).
There is a saying, “writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” Music has been throughout the years a way to not just tell but relive together the most intense of human experiences. As one lives, one collects - sights, emotions, wisdom, instincts, memories, strength, imagination, capabilities - and this pot of humanness defines who one is and what one can offer. In a world where whole lives are easily reduced to numbers of meaningless size it is a gift and a necessity to zoom in on the individual moments of living. Each piece on this program reveals a depth of vulnerable existence and interpersonal influence, as will each performer in their heartfelt collaborations with each other.

Chamber Music
“Last(ing) Words” - Chamber Music Series
Jason Moon and Clara Neubauer, violin; Yeh-Chun Lin, viola,; Leland Ko, cello; Lindsay McIntyre, soprano; Anna Han, piano
From Perkinson’s String Trio, written on his deathbed, to Klein’s String Trio, completed nine days before his deportation to Auschwitz, the pieces on this program are in conversation with death. Mortality is the inescapable deadline which impels all events and actions; without mortality there would be no urgency. Although death only retroactively structures a person’s life narrative, with only those left behind fully understanding the context of each moment within the deceased's lives, works like Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 132 seem uncannily in tune with the composer’s personal timeline. Can we, on some spiritual level, clock our physical battery? What role does fate have in our psyche?

Chamber Music
“Elsewhere” - Chamber Music Series
Leland Ko (cello) & Adria Ye (piano)
The British composer Thomas Adés once wrote, “I don’t know why it is that the cello of all instruments makes one dream of ‘Elsewhere’ when one hears it… Perhaps because the colors are so rich and wide-ranging, one can dream and find oneself in a different place.” The collection of works on this program capitalizes on this idea: from the dreaminess of Nadia Boulanger, the restlessness of Robert Schumann, and the exuberance of Felix Mendelssohn to the private world of Gabriel Fauré and the downright mythology of Olivier Messiaen, these pieces (and the sounds they demand of the cello and piano) are an invitation to be transported or to engage in escapism. But then, of course, perhaps all music is…

Lindsay McIntyre
Solo Residency Concert: Lindsay McIntyre, Soprano
Lindsay McIntyre is a Canadian vocal artist whose work lies at the intersection of technical precision and the magic of mindful experience. Awed by the natural world, Lindsay believes music making is a form of transfiguration: creating moments out of thin air. A scholar of the voice, body, and meditative practices, She is particularly passionate about using her instrument as a vessel for contemporary music.
Soprano Lindsay McIntyre presents an exploration of the raw human voice through this program of unaccompanied vocal repertoire. Although voice is an extremely common instrument, it is seldom heard alone in concert settings. This interwoven set of pieces will feature works by R. Murray Schafer, Luciano Berio, Rebecca Saunders, and newly composed transitions by the singer, and will highlight many of the beautiful, funny, disconcerting, and poignant sounds a voice can make.
