ASL 2015: Soprano, Heather Pawsey

We are excited to announce that soprano, Heather Pawsey will be joining us for art Song Lab 2015. While this will be her first year involved with Art Song Lab, she is no stranger to either art song or new music.

A passionate and fearless champion of contemporary music in general, and Canadian music in particular, Heather has world premiered works by Vancouver composer Leslie Uyeda, Taiwanese composer Gordon Shi-Wen Chin, Vancouver composer Kathryn Cernauskas, Toronto composer Omar Daniel, Edmonton composer Allan Gilliland, Austrian composer Martin Ritter, American composer Patricia Alessandrini.

Heather is particularly known for her all-Canadian, all-contemporary, site-specific, inter-active chamber music concerts. Audience members and musicians alike travel from site to site within an unusual venue for a kaleidoscope of auditory and sensory impressions.

Apply today for the opportunity to work with a major force in the premiering and interpretation of Canadian new music.

Here is Heather singing in Leslie Uyeda's (ASL 2012 Guest Composer) setting of Lorna Crozier's "Sex Lives of Vegetables".
