So grateful to the Esprit Orchestra, Alex Pauk, Naomi Sato, and Zhongxi Wu for the fabulous performance of Birds Calling…from the Canada in You. The whole experience all week was so positive and supportive. It was an honour to be programmed with Unsuk Chin and Misato Mochizuki. Much thanks to Alexina Louie for her thoughtful pre-concert talk. Thank you to everyone at Azrieli Music Prizes - AMP for your generosity and support!
