WSO New Music Festival: Pop Nuit l From Darkness To Light ll LIGHT YOUR STYLE!

Pop Nuit: new music, but from a pop perspective. 
Ever since The Beatles started recording their guitars backwards, pop music has played a major role in pushing the boundaries. This part of the festival will highlight these advances and will be headlined by Grammy award-winning violinist Sarah Neufeld of Montreal's Arcade Fire. 
Winnipeg's instrument builder Jesse Krause will open the night.

Pop Nuit will be hosting the NMF wrap-up party, featuring local critically acclaimed avant- pop group Royal Canoe performing an album by California artist Beck which has been released only on sheet music. 
Opening will be Tasman Richardson of Montreal, a DJ who uses only audio from film clips.

From Darkness To Light: A Spiritual Journey (world premiere performance)
featuring Dame Evelyn Glennie

Centennial Concert Hall, 555 Main Street
Saturday, February 2, 8:0 0pm

Hi all! I'd like to invite you all to the premiere of my second percussion concerto composed for Dame Evelyn Glennie and The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. - Vincent Ho

From Darkness to Light: A Spiritual Journey was written in honour of the victims and survivors of cancer. As described by Vincent Ho, the new work expresses the horrors of the disease and the fight that one faces: fear, uncertainty, shock and grief; the quest for healing, hope – the journey from pain and suffering to peace and acceptance.
