Working with Wesley Shen and Matti Pulkki of shshcc to develop a work for the ensemble.

This episode features mirror of four unknowns (2019) by Christina Volpini (CA). The piece was performed by Aaron Schwebel (violin), Carol Fujino (violin), Sheila Jaffé (viola, and Paul Widner (cello) on Continuum’s concert Spore Wind, June 9, 2023.

As a way to further celebrate the TSO’s relationship with Toronto, Gustavo Gimeno has commissioned ten three-minute “Celebration Preludes” from composers across the GTA, representing the diversity of voices in our community. Continuing on from the Celebration Preludes that were presented over the 2021/22 season, five more composers will have their works premièred in 2022/23.

Christina acts as composer mentor to the selected composer of Continuum Contemporary Music’s Teen Composer Award. The recipient of the award will compose a 5-8 minute work for violin, cello, flute, clarinet, percussion and piano. The selected composer's work will be given a special pre-concert performance on February 9, 2020 at 918 Bathurst/The Music Gallery, as part of the Inside Us Concert, a main-stage Continuum concert.
