Wednesday, 5 February 2025 - Curated by Toronto-based composer, pianist, and Soundstreams New Voices Curator Mentorship Program winner Kalaisan Kalaichelvan. Named after the Tamil farewell gesture “poitu varen” (“I will go and come back”), Kalaichelvan has crafted an immersive concert-going experience inspired in part by Anne Carson’s “The Anthropology of Water,” and centred around a search for meaning through sound. The concert features instruments connected through speakers, and projected text, to drive a musical meditation on legacy, loss and renewal.
Poitu Varen features Chris Pruden on four interconnected pianos, and double bassist Zoe Markle, with Nick Walker Grimshaw on electronics. - 296 Broadview Ave, Toronto, ON M4M 2G7, Canada -
