With two recent Juno awards and a SOCAN Award to his credit and a slew of new commissions by internationally recognized touring artists such as violinists Angèle Dubeau, Hilary Hahn
and Jennifer Koh, percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, soprano Suzie Leblanc,
the Pacifica Quartet and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra among others and
an opera collaboration with renowned author Margaret Atwood, Christos Hatzis is widely
recognized as “one of the most important composers writing today” (CBC),
“a contemporary Canadian Master” (the New Yorker) and “a Canadian icon and an international
cultural institution” (See Magazine). An unusually large number of performances and CD recordings
of his music for EMI, Analekta, Sony, CBC, Naxos and other major and independent labels
as well wide internet distribution of his audio playlist (over one million hits since 2008)
have garnered a loyal international following for his music which is growing exponentially
every year. Hatzis’ music is influenced by early Christian spirituality, Pythagorean
and Hermetic ideas, his own Byzantine music heritage, world cultures and religions,
and various classical, jazz and pop music idioms from the past and present.
He is a believer in borderless culture
and the uninhibited flow of cultural information.
A professor of composition at the University of Toronto, Hatzis writes extensively on these
and other related subjects. His writings, audio playlists and other information
about the composer are available at
Christos Hatzis’ music is published by Promethean Editions, based in Wellington, New Zealand.
