A celebration of the life of the remarkably gifted and productive composer/writer/educator/administrator/provocateur John Beckwith (1927-2022). The former Dean of the Faculty of Music (1970-77), John Beckwith was a distinctly original and vital voice in all aspects of music in Canada, contributing over 160 compositions, and a large number of books and articles over the course of his 75-year career. Friends, colleagues, and family pay tribute in music and words, including performances by Soundstreams' Choir 21, the New Music Concerts Ensemble, Opus 8, members of the Faculty of Music Opera Department, and soprano Monica Whicher.
