Venture with us into the music of the night in this evening of nocturnes and dreamscapes. Evocative string works by Alexina Louie and Melissa Hui frame the programme with music that blends the sounds of East and West, and surround richly coloured works by local composers Rodney Sharman and Dorothy Chang, the time shifts of Toronto 's Brian Current, and the Disembodied Instruments of England's David Horne. Ken Hsieh conducts.
