Michael Pepa, Composer

Michael Pepa studied composition with Dr. Samuel Dolin at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto from which he graduated with an ARCT diploma. Having passed the necessary examinations in the Theory and Practice of Composition, he was admitted FELLOW (FTCL) of Trinity College of Music, London, England. He holds a Teacher’s diploma in the Art of Violin Playing (LTCL) from the same college. Mr. Pepa is also a graduate with a degree of Master of Arts in Music Education. 



As well as being the founder and artistic director of Les AMIS Concerts, he is the composer-in-residence of the Canadian Sinfonietta, a member of the Canadian League of Composers, SOCAN, and an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre. 



Mr. Pepa has composed over 80 works for solo instruments, chamber groups and orchestra. Most have been commissioned and broadcast here in Canada as well as U.S., Netherlands, France, Austria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. His music has been performed by international groups such as the Filarmonica Banatul Timisoara, Romania; Hungarian Philharmonic Chamber Ensemble, Budapest; Utrecht’s Conservatorium Orchestra, Netherlands; SOUNDSTAGE CANADA at the Zagreb Biennale (’81) of Contemporary Music. His music has been performed many times in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Utrecht, Viena, Zagreb, Belgrade, Budapest, Sofia, Pernik, Lviv, Kyiv, Bucharest and Timisoara. Notable international artists such as Claire Bernard, Gabriel Popa, Alexandra Gutu, Jovan Kolundzija, Nada Kolundzija, and Canadian artists Scott St. John, Martin Beaver, Barry Shiffman, Lynn Kuo and Rivka Golani have included Pepa’s works on their programs. St. Lawrence Quartet commissioned two of Pepa’s four quartets and in 1996 premiered Quartet No. 4 in Paris, France. 

In January 2003, Lynn Kuo gave the world premiere of Pepa’s Metamorphose I, a work for solo violin written for her. CBC Radio broadcast her performance. April 2003 marked the world premiere of its chamber orchestral version, Metamorphose II, with Lynn as soloist and Canadian Sinfonietta conducted by Tak-Ng Lai. In October 2003, Metamorphose II was performed by Miss Kuo and BRANDON CHAMBER PLAYERS in Brandon, Manitoba with the composer conducting. 

The Canadian Sinfonietta and world-renowned violist Rivka Golani commissioned Musical Offering for viola and strings. It was premiered on March 20, 2004 at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. Variations for Piano and Chamber Orchestra was commissioned by the Canadian Sinfonietta. It was premiered at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto on January 22, 2005 with pianist Angela Park for whom it was written. 

Metamorphose I continued to enjoy success. At its US premiere on April 25, 2004, LA violinist Claire-Jeanne Martin dazzled the audience to a standing ovation. Fantaisie bohemienne, was written for Miss Martin who premiered it in Toronto on January 23, 2005 with a subsequent performance in Los Angeles, on January 30, 2005.





Michael Pepa's recent international activity was a tour of the Balkans in October and early November of 2005. He was a guest of The 37th Belgrade Music Festival - BEMUS - where his Waltz of The Mystic Bird (2005), a work for solo piano, received its premiere. The well-known Belgrade pianist Nada Kolundzija performed it. Canadian violinist Lynn Kuo performed Fantaisie bohemienne with Belgrade pianist Natalija Mladenovic on TRIBINA, XIV International Review of Composers, Belgrade, Serbia. The two performers included the work on a recital in Belgrade at which Miss Kuo also performed Metamorphose I for solo violin. The recital was repeated in Timisoara and Bucharest, Romania. The pianist on these occasions was Valentina Kohonicz from Romania. Canadian Ambassador F.D. Pillarella hosted the Bucharest concert. The final concert of the tour was in Pernik, Bulgaria, where Lynn Kuo performed with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Raitcho Christov, the orchestrated versions of Metamorphose I (Chorale Partita) and Fantaisie bohemienne. Nadja Christov was the pianist for this performance. Lynn Kuo's and Michael Pepa's tour was made possible by the grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. 



Pepa’s work, Squamish, for violin and electroacoustic sounds (realized by Dennis Patrick), was premiered in June 2006 at the SoundaXis festival in Toronto. 



Touring through Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia, Les AMIS Ensemble, under the artistic direction of Michael Pepa, presented an all-Canadian programme to numerous European audiences to great success in April/May of 2007. 

The world premiere of Michael Pepa’s Katajjaq, written specifically for Les AMIS Ensemble (Lynn Kuo, violin; Lori Freedman, clarinet(s); Rachel Mercer, cello; Joseph Macerollo, accordion; Marianna Humetska, piano) to perform on tour, was officially presented at the Music Biennale Zagreb Festival in Croatia. Katajjaq, which means throat-singing in Inuit, is a quintessentially Canadian work, featuring icy depictions of the harsh Canadian North inspired by Michael’s visit to Nunavut. 

The tour also featured: MUTATIONS for cello and strings – Rachel Mercer with ORPHEUS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA of Bulgaria, conducted by Raitcho Christov (Pernik, Sofia); Squamish – Violinist Lynn Kuo (Belgrade); Moldovenesca – Lynn Kuo, violin; Lori Freedman, clarinet; Marianna Humetska, piano (Bucharest); Moldovenesca and Fantaisie bohemienne – Lynn Kuo, violin and Marianna Humetska, piano (Budapest).





INVOCATION II, commissioned by the CANADIAN SINFONIETTA for cellist Winona Zelenka, was premiered on May 12, 2007 at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. Ms Zelenka has commissioned a new work for cello and percussion from Pepa for her upcoming recording project.





The Cantus Ensemble of Zagreb, (reviewed by Stanley Fefferman
 June 2nd, 2008
) Sunday, June 1, 2008, Glenn Gould Studio, Toronto, soundaXis festival ‘08: 


"Add brass, trumpets and trombones to the stage, and the highlight of the concert appears: the world premiere of Michael Pepa’s ISOMORPHE II for mezzo-soprano, violin, accordion, and ensemble (2008). The soloists are outstanding. Lynn Kuo’s violin is dramatic, both rousing and melancholy: Joseph Macerollo’s accordion blends beautifully into the depths of the ensemble, engaging the richly textured brass and percussion parts. The brooding tension and explosions of violence that are developed in this innovative and exciting piece of music are lulled towards the end by the crying from the heart quality of mezzo-soprano Katarzyna Sadej’s warm prayerful tones."



In April 2009, Michael Pepa embarked on a tour of Eastern Europe with the Penderecki String Quartet and Les AMIS Ensemble. The focal point of the tour was, once again, Music Biennale Zagreb. Pernik and Sofia, Bulgaria; Belgrade, Serbia; Timisoara, Romania and Budapest, Hungary, were also included on the tour. Pepa’s Squamish, Rhapsodie des Danses Populaires, String Quartet No. 4, ISOMORPHE, and Fantaisie bohemienne were given successful performance. The TOUR was generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and the SOCAN FOUNDATION.



Michael Pepa’s, Violin Concerto for the Filarmonica Banatul Timisoara and violinist Gabriel Popa was premiered on September 24, 2010. On the same program, Liliane was premiered and performed by mezzo-soprano Katarzyna Sadej. Pepa is grateful to Canada Council for the travel grant to attend this concert.

Future commissions include a Piano Concerto for Les AMIS Ensemble's soloist Marianna Humetska, Filarmonica Banatau Timisoara & Lviv Philharmonic Society to be premiered in September 2012 in Timisoara, Romania and Lviv, Ukraine.

Michael Pepa was born in Timisoara, Romania.
