New Project Alert!
Bach's The Coffee Cantata to be toured around Victoria coffee shops.
We are delighted to share that we've been awarded funding by the City of Victoria to perform a downtown coffeeshop tour of Bach's coffee-themed musical about romance, being true to yourself, and caffeine, "The Coffee Cantata." We will of course be queering the story! 🌈
The Victoria Music Strategy was created to support local musical initiatives as well as downtown businesses. We are so grateful that our project was chosen!
This means that if you're in the right place at the right time at the start of May, you'll get a free show with your brunch! 🤗
Thanks to Oak Bay United Church for sponsoring our application!
☕️ We'll have news about the cast and coffeeshop/brunch locations in the coming months.
We are currently in the initial stages of pre-production! Watch this space and our social media for updates!
Thank you to Canada Council for the Arts for funding this project!
Project in post-production!
"GREEN" digital album concept film set to Debussy's Ariettes Oubliées
This exciting new project exists to highlight the intersection of queerness, nature, & art song through a series of audio-visual content of Debussy’s Ariettes oubliées. Exploring contemporary filmmaking and music video practices, intermodal arts, and experimental approaches to mixing "nature sounds" into classical music, we will present classical vocal music in an interesting and easily accessible format.
