Premiere 3PM on Sunday December 6, Q&A at 3:30PM

Join us for the world premiere of John Bunge's newest work. "A Canon for Reunion" is a large-scale canon or round for quartet, in two movements of about 10 minutes each. The music proceeds from a somewhat classical mood in the first movement to a more romantic feeling in the second, the overall motion being toward hope and optimism. The performers are: Maggie Burke*, clarinet; William Hurley, viola; Christopher Morgan Loy, piano; and John Bunge, banjo. 

In view of the rapidly changing world outside of music, we decided to convert our penultimate rehearsal of the "Canon" into an audio/video recording session. This took place November 22 at the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts with all social distancing and masking regulations in place. Chris Ploss of Sunwood Recording came in with less than 24 hours notice, and Mark Costa, Managing Director of the Conservatory, was our videographer. Thanks to the skill and professionalism of all concerned we were able to record the entire "Canon" (two movements) - in 2 hours!

Instead of the originally planned live-streamed performance, we will premiere the performance recording at 3 pm (only) on YouTube. If you can listen on a good sound system, it will bring out the Conservatory's magnificent acoustics. Following the premiere, at 3:30, the composer and performers will hold a Q&A via Zoom.
