Converging British and Canadian aesthetics, this program features fresh commissions from Christopher Mayo and Charlie Piper, among others.

In 2020, Piano Lunaire helped to commission an extended work for solo piano from Christopher Mayo. The result as been the distinctive Reel, which now receives its world premiere in November 2024.

Christopher Mayo has curated a fine-tuned program to complement his own centerpiece, including a new commission from British colleague Charlie Piper and a set of "Lockdown" songs by Emily Hall, sung by baritone Nathaniel Sullivan.
