TRACING COLVILLE
Following a research trip to sites in Europe in August 2019 (supported through a research grant at Queen’s University), Burry composed a four-movement, 40-minute work for full orchestra reflecting on the war art of renowned painter Alex Colville and the experiences of Canadians in the Second World War.
Premiered: May 2003
Carnival of the Dinosaurs
Inspired by Saints-Saens’ iconic Carnival of the Animals, Burry’s orchestral work for young audiences provides an exciting and engaging introduction to symphony orchestra. The composer’s own comic poems frame a variety of musical styles that has children’s “roaring” in the aisles.
