Pinsonnault: Wild Canadian Goose Chase

Pinsonnault: Wild Canadian Goose Chase
As an undergraduate student at Western University, the composer had the perennially Canadian experience of encountering gaggles of wild geese and their rather un-Canadian behaviours: cheeky, aggressive, and ever hungry, these birds take no prisoners when defending their young and their territory (or wherever they have decided is their territory). The piece imagines a search for the legendary docile Canadian goose-an impossible task by most accounts…or, as one might say, a wild goose chase. The music vacillates between silly and serious, playful and foreboding, with some musical hide-and-seek and excitement for every instrument.
Conducted by Jonathan Wong

About Us:
Strings Attached Orchestra is a member-based group of dedicated amateur string musicians located in Toronto, Canada. We rehearse weekly from September to June and perform around the city for hospitals, community centres, retirement homes, and our friends and family.
Under the baton of Music Director and Conductor Jonathan Wong we perform repertoire from a broad range of styles and periods from the 17th century to the 21st, from popular music to jazz to the serious classics. Now in our eleventh season of making music together, we have received great reviews for both our musicality and our welcoming community.
New members are welcome to join at any time. If you play the violin, viola, cello, or bass, and are interested in joining a group, we invite you to contact us, and we look forward to hearing from you! Our season runs from September through June.
