City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1VxYu5z Milhaud's dance score, inventively blending Harlem jazz with cutting-edge Western classical music, helped fuel the early 1920s Parisian rage for African and Afro-American art, fashion, dance and music. Janmohamed's work, in the form of miniatures, interweaves melodies from Ismaili Muslim devotional literature, quranic recitation and Indian ragas. Sirens, with their enchanting music and voices as their fatal weapons, appear in the mythologies of many cultures and provide scenarios for Schmidt's alluring new work. Drawing from a rich reservoir of myths, rituals and sacred systems, Pauk brings choir and orchestra together to express a powerful range of humanistic and spiritual themes.
