The Humber Composers' Collective - As One

Through its occasional "Slow Burning Torch" series and other efforts, Somewhere There makes continuing efforts to connect with younger musicians. At the festival, that manifested in one more big group on the stage, with several members of this collection of Humber students¹ providing new compositions. Their half-dozen selections showed that they've got a good grip on their forms and techniques — so some immersion in Somewhere There's milieu (especially the set with Christine Duncan that followed right after them) can help them get to thinking about how they want to break and disregard all those rules as they find their own voices.
