Confluence is a new interdisciplinary, cross-cultural multi-media project that continues the warm approach to programming of Toronto Masque Theatre with many new twists.
Confluence - "an act or process of merging" - will be a company of diverse creative artists dedicated to intimate, thought-provoking, entertaining and moving presentations with a focus on:
•Cabarets curated by a wide cross-section of Toronto's leading musicians
•Anniversary programs celebrating important figures in music
•Salons and lectures on a wide variety of musical topics
•Commissions of new works by Canadian creative artists
•Special programs of rarely-performed sacred and spiritual music
•The launch of a new podcast series, entitled "Confluence: The Podcast" on and about music to be housed on the brand-new Confluence website
In addition, Confluence will be a platform for young artists, students and pre-professionals, to interact with seasoned pros in intimate presentations.
I have been ably assisted in planning this new mandate by a whole host of outstanding and diverse figures from Toronto's amazing music scene each of whom you'll hear from in the very near future.
As well, you will hear very soon about the program for our Fall Season.
I the meantime, please mark your calendars and plan to join us for the launch of Confluence on Sunday 16 September at 2:30 p.m. at St. Thomas's Church at 383 Huron Street. There will be food and drink and many performances, as well as much more information about Confluence.
I look forward to a new journey,
Larry Beckwith
Artistic Director
