TURNING POINT ENSEMBLE CELEBRATES IN MONTREAL

After Vancouver, the Turning Point Ensemble (TPE) celebrates its 20th anniversary in Montréal with RASAS by Sandeep Bhagwati, and two works by female composers Farangis Nurulla-Khoja and Jocelyn Morlock as part of the Homage Series.

Discover a unique arrangement of segments of his great epic modular composition RASAS. In the Indian artistic tradition, the “Rasas” consist of a system for classifying the emotions that form the basic components of all artistic manifestations. In this work, Sandeep Bhagwati has developed 64 sections within a matrix, which can be arranged in various combinations. Before each performance, the performers choose a combination and, through their unique arrangement, offer a different interpretation of the piece each time. Recalling the thought of the great Quebec composer Gilles Tremblay, who said, “A bird never sings the same way twice.”
