Hello, and many thanks for taking the time to visit my website.
Here are some things that I am working on right now.
The Plague Diaries-A music/theatre work commissioned by Music Division of The Canada Council
5 transformations, is a full-length postmodern oratorio. The world premiere was to be performed in Vancouver in collaboration with the David Suzuki Foundation to celebrate their thirty-year anniversary however like all performances the piece has been postponed. At the moment we are working towards a live streaming production.
5 transformations is made possible by a generous gift from Haida artist, poet, singer, and dancer, Robert Davidson, and a grant from the Music Division of the Canada Council.
I have just finished scoring a documentary film titled: The Least We Can Do. The film documents the struggles of the Yazidi women to have the genocide of their people recognized by the Canadian Government.
Presently I am working with Ted Ritchie, singer and guitar player, recording songs I’ve penned. You can hear our first recording on the Forevermore page.
Thanks for the visit. Much appreciated.
Bruce
