Seasons of Life and Landscape explores Canada’s vast musical landscape and a variety of moods through music composed by established and emerging Canadian composers. The music evokes forces of nature across our four seasons as well as the lived human journey through the seasons of life.
This follow-up to the CCC’s Juno-nominated 2015 release features special guests Jeff Reilly (bass clarinet), Keith Hamm (viola), and Beverley Johnston (vibraphone) alongside collaborative pianist Laura Hawley.
Seasons of Life and Landscape was recorded May 17-19, 2019 at Maureen Forrester Recital Hall at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. It was released on October 25, 2019.
