Program:
This week, an archived episode of a former podcast on bicycles, called Totally Spoke’d. In 2015, I invited Larissa Koniuk, Geoffrey Sirett, and Stephanie Tritchew into the CFRC station in Kingston ON for a conversation on high art with the Bicycle Opera Project.
According to their website, The Bicycle Opera Project was designed to bring contemporary Canadian music to smaller communities where there is little opportunity to hear it; the company closes the gap between audiences and singers by performing in intimate spaces. They perform new Canadian works that focus on current issues, in English. The Bicycle Opera Project: two wheels and a sense of adventure.
