New Music Concerts concludes its 2012/13 season with an intimate piano recital. A Tribute to Gilles Tremblay is a program devised and performed by pianist Louise Bessette in honour of Tremblays 80th birthday. The evening features music by Gilles Tremblay, Michel Gonneville, Silvio Palmieri and Walter Boudreau. Qubequois composer Gilles Tremblay is a highly respected figure in Canadian music as a composer, educator (he taught at the Conservatoire de musique de Montral for the better part of four decades), electronic musician, and as an expert player of the ondes Martenot. As part of this recital, Louise Bessette performs four of his works: Phases, Rseaux, Traantes (auprs, au loin) and Musiques de leau. An exhilarating and elegant concert pianist, Louise Bessette is recognized internationally as one of todays pre-eminent interpreters of the music of our time. Possessing a unique combination of eclectic repertory and impeccable delivery, Bessette has been hailed as a 20th-century specialist of penetrating insight and unerring technique (The Gazette, Montreal) and is praised by critics for her playing of genuine grandeur as well as astonishing reserves of controlled, relaxed virtuosity (The Music Times, London). Individual Tickets: $35 (regular)/$25 (seniors/arts workers)/$10 (students) Prices include 13% HST. Box Office: 416 961-9594
