Glenn Gould Foundation. The Gould Standard: Ai Weiwei: The Conscience of an Artist. Ai Weiwei is a unique presence in the world of visual art -- equal parts avant-garde icon, activist and moral conscience for our times. His courage is legendary both in pushing the boundaries between the new and the traditional in art, and between art and politics. He has inspired the world with his defiance in the face of authoritarianism. Join us for a deeply moving conversation, ranging from Ai's origins and formative influences, his struggles to defend freedom of expression against the forces of repression, his monumental installations and his equally bold provocations of the powerful and complacent through his documentary films. Visit The Glenn Gould Foundation.

He has inspired the world with his defiance in the face of authoritarianism. Join us for a deeply moving conversation, ranging from Ai's origins and formative influences, his struggles to defend freedom of expression against the forces of repression, his monumental installations and his equally bold provocations of the powerful and complacent through his documentary films.

Tafelmusik. Musik in Motion: Mozart Requiem Music Video. Alex McLeod is an artist concerned with “simulation and the transition of matter”.

Lacrimosa—a piece which, in his own words, is “shrouded in mystery, re-imagining, and death—which are all elements that fuel the inspiration for my visual practice”. His undulating, mesmerizing, three-dimensional sculpture uses motifs of instruments, flowers, and linen, to communicate a transition between life and death, renewal and regrowth. Visit Tafelmusik.

May 08 University of Toronto Faculty of Music. Spotlight on Diversity. Curated by U of T Opera Diversity Coach Korin Thomas-Smith. This initiative seeks to curate and detail the diverse and rich history that traditionally marginalized groups have in Classical music, and the contributions they have made and continue to make in the operatic world. The programme theme "Connection" is expressed in three ways. "Connection" as in the way we relate to others, to our space, and to the land we occupy. "Connection" that our diverse identities have with what is seen as a static and archaic art form, and "connection" of traditionally othered people to a musical future, but also to a developed past.
