Backlined

Last clip from our Canadian Music Centre Residency showcase at 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media & Education for a little while! Here is Patrick O'Reilly's ever expansive card game piece, "Carded"! This one has taken on many forms depending on the ensemble and players, but for this one our members made unique decks for each other. Full of guitar-centric inside jokes, maybe you'll catch on to a few of 'em!

About a year ago we were artists in residence at the Ontario Canadian Music Centre's Chalmers Performance Space. It was a beautiful experience that allowed us to work intensively for a whole week- writing, rehearsing and workshopping new music for the group and by the group, before performing within a huge residency artist showcase at 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture, Arts, Media & Education! As we gear up for some new plans in 2025, we'll be sharing some pieces from this performance, first being Emmanuel Jacob Lacopo's new work for the group, "nothing lasts forever." Check it out here and more coming soon!
