National Sawdust presents a new project featuring the World Premiere of 18 new works for solo piano, co-commissioned by Metropolis Ensemble and pianist Han Chen, celebrating the centenary birthday of Hungarian-Austrian composer György Ligeti (1923-2006).
Each of the new works is paired with one of Ligeti’s renowned canonic piano etudes, in a recital performance by Han Chen. A diverse cohort of contemporary composers were invited to study Ligeti’s etude, go against the etude, or simply sit with the etude during the composition process. Together, all thirty-six works bring a new and imaginative interpretation on the original iconic etudes.

Hearts of Freedom - Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees Exhibition Opening at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
“After the Vietnam War, Canada welcomed hundreds of thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Many fled on makeshift boats to escape harsh conditions under the communist regime. Between 1979 and 1980, an estimated 60,000 refugees arrived in Canada, most of whom had endured days at sea and vicious pirate attacks. Canadians offered to sponsor their journey to Canada in response to the crisis.
Hearts of Freedom is a Canadian Southeast Asian Historical Research Project. This initiative stems from the desire of the Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian communities to preserve the history of their refugee experience and resettlement in Canada.”
Program includes a performance of Vivian Fung's Silhouettes for Solo Erhu/Violin with violinist Karl Stobbe

Join E4TT for its 15th anniversary gala celebration featuring guest artists performing favorites from the past decade and world premieres by Vivian Fung and Marcus Norris.
A new work for percussion by JUNO Award winning Canadian-Chinese composer and Santa Clara University faculty member Vivian Fung (b. 1975), a companion piece to her "Shimmer" for percussion, which E4TT commissioned and premiered in 2022:"
This International Women’s Day, the FEU is delighted to welcome back alumna pianist Natalia Kazaryan (2011-2012). Unlike the majority of Natalia’s programs, which are inclusive of composers of all genders, this program’s sole focus is celebrating the work of women composers of the past 200 years — from Clara Schumann to Joan Tower.
Although Lili Boulanger’s Trois morceaux opens the program, for Natalia, the work is its emotional heart — her discovery of this powerful but largely unknown work a decade ago sparked her passion for championing great works by women. Following the Boulanger are works of Clara Schumann and Grazyna Bacewicz that, although written 100 years apart, share a powerful sense of emotional intimacy and heartbreaking melody.
The program’s second half brings together three of today’s most important women composers. Vivian Fung’s Glimpses explores the kaleidoscope of vivid timbres possible with the prepared piano, while Joan Tower’s Sixth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman delights in rhythmic and melodic variety to such an extent that it sounds improvisatory.
And Emma Lou Diemer’s Piano Sonata No. 3, with its overtones of Copland and Glass, is always a favorite with Natalia’s audiences thanks to its unstoppable energy and poignant lyricism.
Program:
Lili Boulanger (1893-1918), Trois morceaux pour piano
Clara Schumann (1819-1896), Three Romances, Op. 21
Grazyna Bacewicz (1909-1969), Piano Sonata No. 2
