Barbara shares more than thirty piano miniatures from her Variations project. This intriguing selection, spanning twenty-eight years, is all Canadian and will include some brand new works hot off the press.

There are other projects hatching, too.  Stay tuned for more details about a recital with cellist Norm Adams, a new opera (for Barbara and Janice Jackson) by Marie Pelletier, as well as the rest of Newfangled's new season, and another presentation of Barbara's Variations project.  Whew!

Dates and repertoire subject to change.
