The New Music Concerts Ensemble in Canada have re-organised their earlier concert, which was cancelled due to Harvey being taken ill in 2009. They now plan a full programme of his works including the world premiere of ensemble work 'Vajra' by the gamUT ensemble conducted by Norbert Palej at the University of Toronto on Friday 4 March 2011.
The commission was from the University of Toronto where Jonathan Harvey will be the Michael and Sonja Koerner Distinguished Visiting Composer. The concert will be preceded by a public talk by Harvey. Also programmed are 'Hidden Voice II', 'Wheel of Emptiness', 'Scena' and 'The Riot', for performance on 4 March 2011 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre in Toronto.
