Gryphon Trio – ECHO: Memories of the World
2025-05-29 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Vancouver) | McPherson Playhouse, 3 Centennial Square, Victoria, BC, V8W 1P5, Canada
Imagined within this multimedia project is an exploration of the many efforts around the world to bring voice to submerged histories. ECHO: Memories of the World highlights these important efforts through a unique fusion of music, video, spoken word, soundscape, and other artistic media. With a core team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous creators, this project not only tackles, but engages in the process of establishing and maintaining mutually respectful relationships between artistic genres, timeframes, spaces, histories, and peoples.
A tapestry of music by Andrew Balfour, Eliot Britton, Ian Cusson, Ry Moran, Kelly-Marie Murphy, Marion Newman, Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and contemporary Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, interwoven with poignant storytelling, digital audio, evocative imagery, and film, ECHO: Memories of the World unveils resilient visions of the future, drawing inspiration from three diverse corners of the world: the lands now known as Canada, Norway, and Ukraine.
Developed with the support of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.
A Celebrating Gaia Series Event sponsored by the Gail O’Riordan Climate and the Arts Legacy Fund/Victoria Foundation.
Presented in partnership with the Victoria Native Friendship Centre.
