Neat Strange Music features excerpts from the work of some of Canada’s leading dancers and choreographers – Robert Desrosiers, Serge Bennathan, Peter Bingham and Peggy Baker herself, along with a rare reunion concert by ethno-music heroes, Mother Tongue. Beginning in 1981, Hassan made an important and thoroughly original contribution to the Canadian dance scene for two decades through compositions and live performances of music for a host of important choreographers.
