NUMUS Concerts 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES The 2007-2008 NUMUS season promises to stimulate, complicate, expand, enrich, and enable new understandings of new music, while continuing to foster a locally-grounded contemporary Canadian music identity and community in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. We invite you to be a part of that community this season.   The season begins with a collaboration between legendary British percussionist Eddie Prevost and CCMC.   In November, we celebrate the music and memory of composer/pianist/theorist/educator, James Tenney. Then in January, virtuoso Austrian theremin player Dorit Chrysler presents a solo concert with a screening of the film Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey.   In March, a mini-festival exploring the turntable as a musical instrument: featured performers include Montreal turntablist Martin Tetreault, New York’s DJ Olive, and turntablist/conceptual artist/writer DJ Spooky performing with the Penderecki String Quartet.   The season concludes with the premiere of Reaching for Nothing: Water’s Thirst, an interdisciplinary work conceived by celebrated local composer Peter Hatch and acclaimed visual artist/architect Dereck Revington. Three years in the making, Reaching for Nothing will be a landmark work in Canadian music and culture that should not be missed.   Jesse Stewart, artistic director Jennifer O’Connor, general manager NUMUS Concerts 519-896-3662 info@numus.on.ca www.numus.on.ca
