Sunday February 25: Stephen Parkinson


Bio: Stephen Parkinson
Stephen Parkinson studied composition in Waterloo, San Diego and Victoria with Rudolf Komorous, John Celona, Michael Longton, Owen Underhill and Roger Reynolds. His piece Desires Are Already Memories is recorded by Arraymusic on their New World c.d. and Eve Egoyan has recorded two of his compositions for piano: Rainbow Valley on her disc, thethingsinbetween and Trail on The Art of Touching the Keyboard.

Stephen writes about his work for this performance:
