Bytown Museum
SIX MOMENTS IN THE HISTORY OF
THE URBAN FOREST
January 24 - May 27, 2012
Curated by Carleton University professor Joanna Dean and graduate student Will Knight, the exhibit explores the contested place of trees in Ottawa's urban history. The exhibit explores early street tree planting, the 1920s campaign to "control" urban trees, the commemorative Centennial crab apple tree, the role of arborists in negotiating the conflicts between trees and the built environment, and the closing of Lovers Walk behind Parliament Hill.
It will include such artefacts as the cross-section of a 150-year old bur oak, arborist tools, and digital maps showing changes in Ottawa's tree canopy since the 1920s.
The exhibit runs from January 24-May 27, 2012 and is funded by the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE), a Jack Kimmell grant from the Canadian Tree Fund, and Carleton University.
Bytown Museum, 1 Canal Lane, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5P6
Located next to the Rideau Canal (between Parliament Hill & Château Laurier Hotel)

Le Centre d'artistes Voix Visuelle
Diane Gougeon
Du 14 janvier au 21 février 2012
Vernissage : le samedi 14 janvier à 13h
Surfaces qui réagissent, objets s'illuminant dans le noir, cartes de souhait qui chantent... Voilà autant de gadgets qui piquent la curiosité de l'artiste montréalaise Diane Gougeon.
Son installation Losing touch (2009) proposera aux visiteurs du Centre d'artistes Voix Visuelle une expérience visuelle et tactile. Grâce à un dispositif d'éclairage ultraviolet projetant sa lumière bleue et irréelle sur des motifs de papier peint, l'artiste souligne la tendance actuelle vers une élaboration virtuelle de l'expérience perceptuelle contemporaine.

"Both our nature and the spirit of the natural world is revealed by form."

Thirteen Strings
Thirteen Strings Chamber Orchestra
Kevin Mallon, Artistic Director
January 13, 2012 Wolfgang and Menahem
The coup of the season: extraordinary pianist Menahem Pressler will play Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 12 in A, K. 414 with the orchestra! This octogenarian defies all convention. He is still playing as well as ever and relishing his new found solo career after a lifetime as pianist with the famed Beaux Arts Trio. Wolgang's Divertimento in D Major KV 136 is featured along with his lesser known contemporary Franz Beck and his Symphony in opus 2 no.2 for strings.
February 10, 2012 Northern Lights
Talented young Canadian conductor Bradley Thachuk joins the orchestra with one of the world's greatest double bass virtuosi, Joel Quarrington, in a program bringing us to the lands of the midnight sun! Danish composer Niels Gade's Notturno is juxtaposed with the extraordinary Estonian composer, Erki- Sven Tuur and his Insula Deserta. Quarrington joins the orchestra for Canada's Michael C Baker and his Contours for Bass, Harpsichord with Thomas Annand.
March 2, 2012 Les Amis
The Thirteen Strings are joined by Toronto duo, Les Amis featuring Lynn Kuo, violin and Marianna Humetska, piano. Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara's Suite for Strings is coupled with two works by Canadian composer Alice Ho, her Capriccio Ballo for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra and a new work commissioned specially for this concert! Handel's Concerto Grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 6 and Peter Warlock's Serenade for Strings round out the program.
April 27, 2012 Handel Opera Giulio Cesare, complete opera - semi-staged
Last, but definitely not least, we present a semi-staged version of Handel's greatest opera Giulio Cesare at Dominion Chalmers Church. In conjunction with the Centre for Opera Studies in Italy and in a production by famed stage director Tom Diamond (of Bathroom Divas fame), a cast of young professional singers will reproduce the production as performed in Sulmona, Italy under Kevin Mallon's direction.
Formed in 1976, Thirteen Strings is one of Canada's premiere professional string ensembles whose mission is to provide audiences with the leading edge of live, classical music where sophisticated repertoire intersects with dynamic, high quality performances. Subscriptions for the season are available on line at www.thirteenstrings.ca or by calling 613-738-7888.
