Amir Amiri Trio
Amir Amiri is one of the most exciting and diverse musicians in Canada today. Having studied Indian classical music with Ravi Shankar and subsequently moving to Alberta, Amir received numerous scholarships and and has worked with western classical musicians from around the world. His focus has been to fuse the depth of eastern music with the broad harmonic palette of western music. In this dynamic pairing with the Land’s End Chamber Ensemble, he will be performing alongside Linling Hsu on violin and Rebecca Wenham on cello.

Land’s End Chamber Ensemble
Land’s End in Cornwall, England reaches out into the Atlantic into what were uncharted waters in the time before Columbus. The Calgary-based chamber ensemble of the same name was formed to explore the boundaries of contemporary music, and to create compelling aural experiences. In its seventh season, Land’s End Chamber Ensemble brings new music by Albertan and Canadian composers, along with landmark chamber works of the 20th and 21st century to life. The group consists of Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, piano and keyboards—John Lowry, violin; Beth Root Sandvoss, cello; and Dr. Mark Hopkins, artistic director. As an exciting feature of their performance, Land’s End will be performing with a new violin, viola and violincello, especially made for this concert by master Alberta luthier Christopher Sandvoss! Discover new Canadian works in a program to include: Ottawa-based composer Kelly-Marie Murphy’s Four Degrees of Freedom, a premier of a new work by Calgary composer Allan Gordon Bell and a new work by the winner of the Land's End Chamber Society Annual Composer's Competition.
Featuring:
Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, piano and keyboards
John Lowry, violin; Beth Root Sandvoss, cello; and Dr. Mark Hopkins, artistic director.
Amir Amiri is a winner of CBC's Galaxie Rising Star Award
