Noon Hour Concert: Rachmaninoff Tribute to Tchaikovsky
Well known and beloved by local music patrons, the Andromeda Trio consists of Marcus Scholtes, Violin; Miriam Stewart-Kroeker, Cello; and Heidi Wall, Piano.
Their repertoire for this concert will be Sergei Rachmaninoff's
Trio élégiaque in D minor, Opus 9.
The human voice is an incredible instrument, not only capable of carrying text, but also showcasing many different sounds to convey emotion or create atmosphere. Voicescapes will explore some of these capabilities, featuring music by composers such as Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, Stephen Hatfield, Morten Lauridsen, and Sarah Hopkins. 
A moving concert of vocal and instrumental music inspired by magical tales and legends. The music ranges from the enchanting "Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty" ballets by Tchaikovsky to arias from Mozart's "Magic Flute" and Massenet's "Cinderella", as well as orchestral music from Gounod's "Faust" and the great Can-Can from "Orpheus in the Underworld".
Four chamber groups will play a delightful selection of classical music. Included this term are pieces by Mozart and Peterson. Free admission, reception to follow.
Johannes Brahms composed Piano Sonata No.
Playing on period instruments, violinist Joseph Lanza and harpsichordist Borys Medicky will play a selection of classical music from Europe. Lanza is a professor at Western University, and the concertmaster of the London Symphonium. Medicky is an internationally known harpsichordist, who also does repairs and builds instruments as a side line.
