Congratulations to current U of T Opera student, Camille Labonté and U of T Opera alumni, Aemilia Moser and James Coole-Stevenson for being selected to perform in the finals of the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition! Bravi tutti!
The Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition for the performance of Canadian and contemporary music is a memorial to composer, pianist, and violinist S.C. (Sonia) Eckhardt-Gramatté, who spent the last twenty-one years of her life in Manitoba. It fulfills her lifelong dream of creating a means by which the music of contemporary composers could make its presence felt by young musicians on the threshold of their careers. The E-Gré National Music Competition has been held annually since 1976 at Brandon University.
Introducing our spring production, Benjamin Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia. We are proud to present a feminist, survivor-forward production of this powerful chamber opera.
