Evocations is the result of composer Felipe Téllez's intense work with the Canadian Studio Symphony. On this new album, you can hear forgotten instruments like the oboe d'amore, tackling bespoke repertoire to show off the instrument's full capacities and exotic tone, as well as works for string orchestra, a romanza for solo violin and orchestra, and more. The music is brought to life by the Canadian Studio Symphony, which was founded in 2022 with the mission of performing - and especially recording - new and engaging repertoire. The ensemble is led by conductor Lorenzo Guggenheim and is made up of the brightest players in Toronto, including Lynn Kuo as concertmaster and solo violinist, and Ron Cohen Mann on oboe d'amore.
