I am very pleased to be able to contribute to the tradition of electroacoustics here at Concordia, whether as faculty member teaching courses or as EuCuÉ host.

Choosing works for this concert was difficult but exciting, and I have realized that I would enjoy curating more programmes, if only to include the many more pieces on my "favourites" list for which we do not have time this evening. In making the final selection, I resolved to focus on composers who seem (undeservedly) less well known to Montreal audiences. They include old and new friends, and a former student. Of course, I also took advantage of the situation to play some of my own works – partly because I wrote them in the hope that they would be heard in the wonderful acoustic space of the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall.
Thanks to Kevin Austin for starting and maintaining the EuCuÉ series, to Ian for organizing this year’s concerts, to Mark Corwin for invaluable help in setup, to Liselyn and Roddy for providing the live entertainment, and to you the audience, for your curiosity and support.
