Welcome to our 112th Toronto Ravel Study!

TORONTO RAVEL STUDY is back in-person at The Tranzac Club

 

 
*****************

This Month’s Guest

Doug Wilde

We are very pleased to welcome our own Doug Wilde as our guest this month.  Doug will take us through the contemporary music scene at the time the the “Rite of Spring” was being composed and premiered. He will also debunk some of the myths, some which Stravinsky himself propogated, that have followed this seminal work to the present day.  

Doug, among other things, is an excellent composer, arranger and pianist. He is music director for the eternal “Manteca”, and recently released an album of original compositions based on his work with hexachords called “The Sixth Dimension.”

For more on Doug, check out his weblsite;  www.dougwilde.com

NEW ADVENTURES IN LISTENING – Film clips from “On The Waterfront” and “Ryan” are posted on the “Study Materials” page for download. With the sound removed, they can be scored as an exercise, and brough in to “Adventures in Listening” for feedback and analysis. Adventures in Listening is a unique opportunity to get unbiased and honest feedback on your ‘in-progress’ or experimental work from a community of your professional peers. Because it is anonymous, it is a risk-free environment.  Whether you are an emerging composer or an experienced one, and whether your work is for concert or screen, I encourage you to take advantage of this invaluable resource.

——–
Many of you are actively performing musicians or are composers with TV shows or films containing your original scores. If you would like me to mention upcoming concerts or showtimes, please see me during the first hour, and I will make the announcement during “Adventures in Listening”. This way we can get the word out while preserving the relaxed and casual atmosphere that we have created at Toronto Ravel.
