HAPPENSTANCE

“It rarely happens that a recital series strikes excellence in programming from the word go, but … soprano Adanya Dunn, clarinetist Brad Cherwin, [and pianist] Alice Hwang … are doing just that. Next time these people throw a recital, run don’t walk.”

— LYDIA PEROVIC, DEFINITELY THE OPERA

innovative programming and a multi-dimensional narrative

.....................

Happenstance is a chamber music series that looks to create a context for the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Through thoughtful and unlikely pairings, Happenstance brings new sounds, colours, and narratives to the concert stage in Toronto and beyond.

Happenstance is curated, created and performed by Adanya Dunn, soprano, Brad Cherwin, clarinet, and Alice Hwang (Nahre Sol), piano. Guest Artists are regularly featured throughout the season.
