Five years following his 50-state Anthem Tour, cellist Matt Haimovitz
celebrates the recent electoral results in the US with a signature solo tour
reconciling the musical communities of his two home countries, the US and
Canada. In preparation for a recording of some of North America's leading
composers, Haimovitz returns to the listening-room experience. From Canada,
composers Gilles Tremblay, Anna Sokolovic, Serge Provost, and Luna Pearl
Woolf and, from the US, Elliott Carter, John Corigliano, Christopher Rouse,
and Steven Stucky, among others will be represented. Like Anthem,
celebrating living American composers, the sequel Anthem II continues
to explore the diversity of North America's cultural contribution.
