This concert celebrates the luminous legacy of Violet Archer (1913-2000), whose music reflects a vibrant blend of intellect, lyricism, and national identity. Archer’s musical palette is deeply evocative, and this program brings to life her extraordinary concepts of tonality, phrasing, counterpoint, structure, and texture that shaped and solidified her mastery.
In Violet Light invites listeners to trace the pathways of Archer’s creative journey and her lifelong advocacy for new music. Featuring renowned Canadian artists Camryn Dewar (soprano) and Sandra Joy Friesen (piano), experience how her works continue to resonate through solo piano pieces elegantly complemented with songs for mezzo soprano.
