Creative Music Workshop is a 9-day intensive that places non-stylistic improvisation at the center of musical learning. Students discover their confidence, discernment and wakefulness through classes in creative process, ensemble, like instruments, meditation, and body-mind practices. For the last 5 days of the intensive, students and faculty present public concerts in the evening, featuring “spontaneous compositions” and works devised during the workshop. Hosted by Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.

For the past few years, jazz percussionist Jerry Granelli, calligrapher and visual artist Barbara Bash and dance artist Susanne Chui have collaborated extensively, stretching the boundaries of improvisation and interdisciplinary performance.
True masters in their fields, these three performers effortlessly transcend the conventional barriers between disciplines to present an experience that can be chaotic and kinetic one moment, subdued and contemplative the next. For this very special show Jerry, Barbara and Susanne will be joined by three more of the region’s most accomplished dancers, Jacinte Armstrong, Sara Coffin and Kathleen Doherty.
Previous incarnations of Brush/Movement/Sound have dazzled audiences — this performance will be no exception. Don’t miss it!

Warrior Songs was commissioned by improvising percussionist Jerry Granelli, with funds from Arts Nova Scotia. It is a five-movement concerto with choral material by composer Peter-Anthony Togni and accompaniment by Granelli. The 75-minute composition runs without intermission. The anchor and centre of the work is Tibetan Buddist Chögyam Trungpa’s poetry. Three of his poems are used: “To Gesar of Ling”, “A Childs Concept of Death” and “Battle Cry”. are also texts from the Spanish mystic St. John of the Cross, a text from the Roman Catholic liturgy, Da Pacem, and words by Malcolm X from a speech he gave in New York in March of 1964. His speech contains the important line “…my sincerity is my credentials”, which is the basis for the last movement of the concerto. Granelli and Togni are friends and have collaborated for many years. They play together in improvising ensembles in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Together, they have managed to build a composition that combines Jerry’s use of specific rhythmic patterns, important to him on many levels with Peter-Anthony’s imagination and skill as a choral composer. The result is a uniting of the two author’s spiritual practices; Granelli’s Tibetan Buddhist practice and Togni’s Catholic beliefs. This concerto is an ecumenical journey towards nonaggression, but it is certainly not a quiet ride; it ranges from sublime static sections to thundering chords and wild bursts of sound! The percussion part is freely improvised and is also made up of set patterns, the coming together of freedom, form, intuition and improvisation. Requiem et Lux, also by Peter-Anthony Togni, will open the concert.
