GS1: Of Glow & Abandon
Wednesday, October 11, 2023, Westworth Church
Kerry DuWors, violin; Ryan Davis / Radia, viola; Katherine Dowling, piano.
Of Glow & Abandon brings together three Saskatchewan-raised artists in a diverse program of works for violin, viola, and piano inspired by folk, electronic, hip-hop, classical, and contemporary music.
Opening the concert is Ian Cusson’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, a reflection on the cycle of life and death in the natural world. The centrepiece of the show features original compositions by Radia, the moniker for artist Ryan Davis: Dreaming, After All, Blood Orange, Colour You Like, and Set Fire In My Snow for viola and electronics, Lavender Jump for violin and viola, and a newly commissioned work for GroundSwell for violin, viola and piano. Katherine Dowling will perform Alice Ping Yee Ho’s solo piano work, The Weeping Woman, and closing the concert is Kevin Lau’s If Life Were a Mirror…for violin and piano, a deep dive into the realm of the subconscious, and in particular the world of dreams.
