For their first composer concert of the year on Wednesday November 17th, 2020, the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music put forth six emotive performers in front of cameras to showcase a handful of stimulating, reactive compositions.

Four of these performances were interpretations, and one was of an original composition by Canadian-Estonian composer Erik Kreem, performed together with clarinetist Gavin Warren.

In this concert, Kreem demonstrated his aptitude as a cellist rather than on the piano we have often seen him play as part of Estonian Music Week and other events. The Faculty of Music indicated that his composition of the evening was “Erik’s first piece for instrumental duet without piano.” In the past, he has guest conducted the Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra and has had his work performed by a multitude of Canadian ensembles.
