Connect with the women composers who live and work in our community, and be introduced to contemporary classical music. The stunning venue at the Ward Room in Esquimalt with a beautiful view has a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, where audience members will be invited to stay and talk to the composers and performers following the performance.

This is the third time that Augmented Trio Promotions has presented a concert of Canadian women composers; the first for a live streamed concert during COVID, the second featured music by Leila Lustig and Diane Berry. We hope to do more in the future! These performance are strengthening the collaborations between the composers and performers, leading to music being composed specifically for us, and us selecting music by these composers for performances.

This concert will include the premiere of Leila Lustig's piece Glacier, which has been written specifically for Kathryn Le Gros and Diane Berry.

Composers: Sylvia Rickard, Leila Lustig, Janet Danielson and Diane Berry
