Heavy Metal Suite Live at the Vogue Theater

Axiom Brass World Premiere - Heavy Metal Suite In the words of the poet Cesar A. Cruz, ‘art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable’. Like the arts, mining has also created both comfort and disturbance. The industry generates enormous wealth for some segments of society, and provides the mineral resources necessary for work, transportation and leisure in our digital age. At the same time, mining has left enormous environmental and social impacts that continue to this day. In the face of these challenges, the creative and performing arts can be a powerful vehicle to open dialogue and help us reimagine alternative possibilities. The Heavy Metal Suite provides a creative and collaborative approach to explore the future of minerals and mining. We first conceived the project in 2021, when Axiom Brass performed a concert at the University of British Columbia. From the outset, we knew the project had to be international in scope, with representation from composers around the world who could bring a global perspective to the work. We searched, far and wide, for composers who had the creativity and talent to rise to this occasion; composers who were not only outstanding in their own right, but who would be willing to work together to form a whole that was more than the sum of its individual parts. We had the great fortune of assembling an extraordinary group of artists from across the globe; Valeria Gisel Valle Martinez (Chile), Christopher Sainsbury (Australia), Yao Chen (China), T. Patrick Carrabré (Canada), Augusta Read Thomas (United States), Roberto Morales- Manzanares (Mexico), Chris Chafe (United States) and Vuma Levin (South Africa).
