Orkestra Futura’s Phoenix Rising will be an inspirational evening of sound and stories illuminating the human spirit’s infinite capability to overcome adversity and to shine and flourish despite the challenges that we all face in our lives.
We welcome Montréal composers Joane Hétu on saxophone and Rainer Wiens on guitar for this one-time evening of music. The concert will feature ten of Vancouver’s most inspiring improvisational musicians for a magnificent night of music as we premiere commissioned work from Ms. Hétu and Mr. Wiens.
Our ensemble will feature horns (Coat Cooke/reeds, JP Carter/trumpet, Brad Muirhead/bass trombone), strings (Chad MacQuarrie/electric guitar, Tommy Babin/bass), voice (DB Boyko/voice), electronics (Chris Gestrin/keyboards, Lee Hutzulak/electronics) and percussion (Skye Brooks/drums).
The phoenix, with its great beauty, creates intense excitement and deathless inspiration. We explore this universal theme that offers hope for renewal.
