Ricardo Ferro
Ricardo Ferro is a Venezuelan-Canadian Toronto-based composer and multi-instrumentalist. His composition style and research interests are largely centred in areas of artificial intelligence for composition and performance, controlled aleatoricism and improvisation, rhythmic innovation, and unconventional performance environments. Filtered through this lens, his musical landscapes are often dynamically changing, filled with heavy contrasts and relentlessly driving, asymmetrical rhythms. Recent and upcoming engagements include work with the Bedford Trio, Jameson Platte, Mehrdad Gholami, Moni Simeonov, the Atlantic Music Festival Orchestra and Contemporary Ensemble, the Calidore String Quartet, Orchestra Breva, Younggun Kim, the Oakville Symphony Youth Orchestra, Concreamus Vocal Arts Collective, and the University of Toronto Opera.
