Tim Brady is a composer and guitarist who has created music in a wide range of genres ranging from chamber and orchestral music to electroacoustic works, chamber opera, contemporary dance scores, jazz, and free improvisation. Slow Dances - 1999 was commissioned by Jean-Guy Boisvert and the Quatuor Bozzini.
Particularly interested in the music of his contemporaries, Jean-Guy Boisvert has frequently premiered new works by Canadian composers.
Moving freely from avant-garde events to traditional concerts,
the Quatuor Bozzini was characterized by the Irish Times as a
"group which gets its teeth into music: quiet or loud, fast or slow,
these Canadian musicians play with compelling engagement."
