Noon Hour Concert: Harp & Song
Harpist Lori Gemmell and tenor James McLean will perform a selection of classical music. This concert features French songs by Debussy, Faure and Tournier, British Folk songs by Benjamin Britten, and Glen Buhr's setting of Tolkien's epic Tale of Tinuviel.
The KW Woodwind Quintet has chosen a program of delightful music by French composers to showcase the "jolie vent" that wind instruments create. The concert will include Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin, Debussy's Children's Corner, Bozza's Scherzo, and Bizet's Carmen Fantasie. Bienvenue à notre concert!
While the term “empire” has come to have strong political connotations, an archaic use of the word simply means to hold absolute power over something or someone. Few who listen to or participate in music could deny its empire!
Six different Instrumental Chamber Ensemble groups of three to five members will play a lovely selection of classical music.
Soprano Bethany Hörst and pianist Mary Castello perform a selection of German lieder. Exploring themes of birth, love and death, this concert features works by Brahms, Wolf and Schumann.
Cellist Tom Wiebe and pianist Chiharu Iinuma will perform pieces by Chopin, Debussy and Takemitsu. Thomas Wiebe is Associate Professor of Violoncello at the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University in London.
Flautist Wendy Wagler, cellist Ben Bolt-Martin, and pianist Boyd McDonald together have formed the Springdale Trio. In this concert, they will perform "The Voice of the Whale", by American avant-garde composer George Crumb.
