Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

“It didn’t feel wrong.”

John Korsrud’s musical response to the 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot promises to be an uncompromising look at mob mentality, privilege, and culpability. Merging video footage and high energy music, Riot seeks to immerse one into the incomprehensible.

In a double bill, Montreal powerhouse clarinetist Lori Freedman also takes the stage with her piece To the Bridge. A virtuoso, composer, and performer of incredible power and skill, she performs with stunning vigour, intensity, and intimacy.
