Architek Percussion returns to Ottawa with a recital presented by Ottawa New Music Creators.  Details can be found here.

Unfortunately, we've had to postpone Melodica (originally scheduled for April 12) until September.  We still look forward to sharing with you exciting new Canadian repertoire for mallet percussion.  Details forthcoming.

Here's a video from our recent performance in front of Montreal's Pointe-a-Calliere Museum in the old port.  An exciting 30 minutes of percussion, flute, voice, and docked ships in Montreal's harbour.  Check out a repeat performance on March 10 at 13:30.

Check out the concerts page for details on Architek's upcoming engagements.  Soon to be confirmed will be a June 4th concert in Ottawa.  Stay tuned.

It's been a bit of crazy week, first preparing for and presenting Blips and Beats at Sala Rossa on the 15th, and then performing Okho at the Montreal launch of Xenakis Matters, the new book published by Pendragon Press on the 19th.  Many more concerts to come!  Check the concerts page for more info.

Architek is now on CBC music.ca - check out our profile here.  More information, videos, and audio will soon be added.

Our first concert of the season is over, and we're all tired but happy.  Here's a great review you can read.  We're right back into the practice studio to prepare for our next concert on January 15 at Sala Rossa.

Only one week to go until Architek Percussion presents the first show of its 2012-2013 season.  We're really looking forward to this one, and it'll be full of surprises.   Lots of interesting repertoire by John Cage, from some well-known works (Third Construction, Credo in Us), to some lesser-known gems (Quartet, She is Asleep).   Check the events page for detailed info.  Tickets available in advance and at the door.

Architek is Back. After a successful first year as a quartet, we are ready to go with some new, interesting projects for 2012/2013.  The spring and summer have been busy for all members:  Alessandro and Mark said farewell to McGill, where they both graduated with Master's degrees in performance.  Noam finished his undergraduate degree and is headed to Paris in the fall.  Ryan finished his first year of graduate studies and is back for his final year.  Ben, joining the group in place of Noam, finished his first year out of school, enjoying working in the rich and varied musical life of Montreal.

While each member has had diverse and musically stimulating purusuits over the summer, the trials and triumphs of quartet life resume at the end of August.  Or whenever Sandro's shoulder heals.
