SUMMARY:Wan Word
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together artists Kanna Anigbogu\, Abdul Hamid Kanu Jr. and Don Kwan to explore memory\, cultural history and the diasporic experience. Through black-and-white photography\, digital art and mixed media inspired by family archives\, the works reflect cultural resilience and personal narratives. Kanu captures Sierra-Leonean communities reconnecting with their heritage. Anigbogu uses Igbo motifs to evoke the freedom of youth. Kwan illuminates intergenerational Chinese-Canadian stories through resonant objects. \nCurator Yanaminah Thullah examines “diasporic nostalgia” — a longing for one’s homeland intertwined with efforts to reclaim cultural identity and community across distances. These themes explore how displacement\, memory and cultural traditions shape the diaspora. Learn more about cultural exhibitions in Canada’s capital.

SUMMARY:Mozart\, Hewitt & Beethoven's Fifth
DESCRIPTION:Experience the miraculous chemistry that happens when two great musical minds fuse into one\, as guest pianist Angela Hewitt interprets Mozart on Southam Hall’s stage.\nMontreal-based composer Keiko Devaux loves playing with electroacoustic sounds then translating them into emotional and genre-blurring music\, resulting in beautiful and otherworldly effects.\nMusic Director Alexander Shelley leads the evening’s performance.\n\nOur concert opens with Devaux’s Listening Underwater\, which was written especially for the NAC Orchestra and had its world premiere in Southam Hall in May 2023. This magical work\, inspired by the communications of whales and other sea life\, transports us to an organic underwater environment that is both familiar and mysterious. \nOttawa-born guest pianist Angela Hewitt performs Mozart like no one else\, capturing the emotion Mozart put into this timeless work. Do not be surprised if your fellow audience members demand that Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 be played over and over. \nThe Orchestra will also take on Beethoven’s super-charged Fifth Symphony\, a piece that is best experienced live. As one of the most recognized works in music history\, it truly has “no predecessor\, no successor in composition” (Christoph Eshenbach\, conductor). You will walk away covered in goosebumps\, more than two centuries after its first performance in 1808. \nOn March 20\, arrive Early for a FREE Pre-Concert Woodwind Performance! \nStart your evening with a delightful pre-concert performance featuring young OrKidstra musicians from 7:15pm-7:45pm in the NAC’s Le Salon. \n\n\n\nLearn more in the program notes ›
