Ten years ago, a handful of young Canadian composers met for coffee to discuss new ideas for presenting music to a broader public. On January 20th, 2002, they mounted their first production at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre with the percussion quartet, Four Gallon Drum.... that day, "Redshift" was born.
What began in that Vancouver coffee shop a decade ago has transformed into one of the most important ongoing collaborations of composers, performers, and artists on the Canadian new music scene.
And now, as of January 20th, 2012, Redshift Music is 10 years old!
To celebrate our 10th Anniversary we are offering a new compilation CD for FREE.
Redshift X is our way of saying thanks for your invaluable support over the past 10 years. It features works from acclaimed and upcoming Redshift CD releases, and one previously unheard studio recording!
Simply click the link below to download the 10-track album.
Redshift X showcases some of the very best Canadian music being written today, with works by Jennifer Butler, André Cormier, Emily Doolittle, Christopher Kovarik, James B. Maxwell, Jocelyn Morlock, Jordan Nobles, Marci Rabe, Jeffrey Ryan, and Rodney Sharman, performed by some of Canada's most respected interpreters, including Cris Inguanti, Contact Contemporary Music, the Tiresias Duo, Mark Takeshi McGregor and Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa.
Did we mention it's FREE?!
