This season, SuperMusique embarks on a random geometry theme and commissions new canvases and graphic scores from composers Bhagwati, Goldstein, Labrosse, and Stewart. Also scheduled is the revival of a work by Danielle Palardy Roger and an excerpt from John Cage’s Atlas Eclipticalis. New musical ideas will be added to the repertoire of Ensemble SuperMusique, and new musicians will be joining this large improvisation ensemble: Magali Babin, Émilie Girard-Charest, and Scott Thomson from Toronto.
