Winterreise
A solitary traveller wanders through a frozen world of memory and longing in this moving adaptation of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise. Reimagined for violin, piano, and two voices, the production intertwines live music and dance to explore love, loss, and the search for belonging in Schubert’s timeless song cycle.

Echo Chamber is a performance series that intertwines live chamber music and dance in new choreographed works. By merging these two art forms in an intimate setting, Echo Chamber performances deliver the unique opportunity to see and hear music and dance together as one integrated expression.
Echo Chamber performances have featured choreography by some of Canada's leading dance makers, including Laurence Lemieux, Jera Wolfe, Alysa Pires, William Yong, Hanna Kiel, Christopher Stowell, Liana Bellissimo, Tara Pillon, Robert Stephen, and Brendan Saye. Echo Chamber has appeared at music and dance festivals around Canada, including Fall for Dance North, Toronto Summer Music Festival, Ottawa Chamberfest, and Darke Hall.
