The NOW Society, Suoni Per Il Popolo, and the Trading Places: Resident Coordinators curate in collaboration, providing support for artistic practice and cultural exchange.
Trading Places: Un Échange est un programme de résidence dynamique qui a débuté en 2016 et qui se déroule à Montréal et à Vancouver, deux des principaux centres de musique improvisée au Canada. Le NOW Society, Suoni Per Il Popolo, et les coordonnateurs résidents organisent en collaboration un soutien à la pratique artistique et le biais d'échanges culturels.
Chaque année, les artistes résidents sont choisis pour représenter leurs communautés dans ces résidences. Les artistes créent de nouvelles œuvres, assistent à des rassemblements musicaux, dirigent des ensembles, présentent des concerts, dirigent des ateliers et réalisent des enregistrements, formant de nouveaux liens avec des artistes locaux. Les échanges culturels comprennent des marathons continus d'une vingtaine de musiciens dans chaque ville, cette année à Vancouver, un partenariat avec Barking Sphinx pour présenter le marathon à The Hargrove.
Each year the resident artists are chosen to represent their communities in these residencies. The artists premiere new works, attend musical gatherings, perform in concerts, facilitate workshops and make recordings, forming new connections with local artists. Cultural exchange include expansive continuous marathon events involving as many as twenty musicians in each city. This year's program in Vancouver we co-present the Marathon in partnership with Barking Sphinx at the Hargrove.
