This free virtual event will feature some of Canada’s top large jazz ensemble writers:
Paul Read (https://paulread.ca/) is a composer and arranger, a pianist, saxophonist, and educator in Toronto.From 2018 to 2020 he was the curator of the blog for the International Society of Jazz Arrangers and Composers (ISJAC) and while retired from academic life, he continues to work as a freelance composer and arranger.
In 1991, he founded degree programs in jazz studies at the University of Toronto (Mus. Bac., M. Mus. and DMA) where he was Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies and following that, Director of Graduate Jazz Studies. Prior to that Paul was a member of the Humber College Music Faculty in Toronto from 1979 to 1991, where he taught and served as Program Coordinator (1982-1987), and Director of Music (1987 to 1991). Additionally, he served as Canada’s Representative on the Executive Board of the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) from 2002-2008, and was the founding Director of the National Music Camp (NMC) Jazz Program (1987 to 2006). He served for many years on the faculty of other summer jazz camps such as the Ken Kistner Jazz Camp (Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan) and the Prairielands Jazz Camp (Regina, Saskatchewan).
I’ve always been very interested in the processes used by composers and arrangers in any genre. I’ll be talking about my own processes within the general headings of Getting Started (some of things I use), How to Keep it Going (maybe the hardest part?) and Finishing (editing and more editing and then realizing that the work is done).
Marianne Trudel (https://www.mariannetrudel.com/) is a multi-talented pianist, composer, improvisor, and arranger. A generous and engaging artist, a veritable powerhouse in Quebec and Canada’s music scene, Marianne Trudel has presented multiple artistic projects that not only bring her considerable skills to the fore but also her keen sense of creativity. At once energetic and passionate, her music cross-cuts a wide swath of musical interests. Her moving, spellbinding music is at once sophisticated and catchy, authentic and unique. As a performer, she pursues an active career in a variety of settings ranging from solo performance to: Trudel-Hollenbeck, Trudel-Young, Trifolia, Marianne Trudel 4 + Ingrid Jensen, and large ensembles. She has presented her music in 15 countries around the world, always received with great enthousiasm by the audience.
Marianne Trudel (https://www.mariannetrudel.com/) est pianiste, compositrice, improvisatrice, et arrangeuse. Artiste généreuse et attachante, véritable dynamo sur la scène musicale québécoise et canadienne, elle a démontré maintes fois ses talents et son sens aiguisé de la créativité. Sa musique est à la fois sophistiquée et accrocheuse, authentique et unique, et témoigne de son regard ouvert sur l’univers infini de la musique. Énergique et passionnée, Marianne Trudel poursuit une carrière des plus actives donnant autant des récitals en solo qu’en diverses formations: Trudel-Hollenbeck, Trudel-Young, Trifolia, Marianne Trudel 4 + Ingrid Jensen, et grands ensembles. Elle a présenté sa musique dans une quizaine de pays à travers le monde, toujours accueillie avec grand enthousiasme du public.
