The second instalment of the Fresh Blood Project is coming. On November 13, 2021, at 7:30pm, join us at Crescent Fort Rouge United Church (or online) for an evening of percussion music. Facebook event here so you don't miss any important updates.
THE PROJECT
Fresh Blood Project 2 is a collaborative initiative between composers and percussionists, culminating in a concert of percussion music. Four new pieces for marimba and vibraphone quartet will be premiered alongside a collection of classical pieces arranged for the ensemble.
The Fresh Blood Project began in 2019 with a showcase concert of new works for percussion. A group of amazing performers worked directly with a group of composers to prepare and premiere their music. After a successful Halloween concert of all new music, the Fresh Blood Project continued in the form of smaller developments, such as a new solo work premiered in a program of existing music. Our hope is to be able to continue the Fresh Blood Project as an ongoing initiative, with annual concerts in the fall. With your support, we can make that happen!
