Telling the Story: orchestra@uwaterloo concert

orchestra@uwaterloo

This is a concert about storytelling.  Surprisingly, Rossini's Barber of Seville is not a story about a rabbit masquerading as a barber but a love story complete with disguises and mistaken identity and love triumphs in the end.  The overture was written for a different opera actually, "Aureliano in Palmira". Rossini borrowed it as he had run out of time.

Noon Hour Concert: Women Music Revolutionaries

Mary Catherine PazzanoThis concert is dedicated to the female singers and singer-songwriters who have been influential both to Joni and I as artists, but also to the culture at large. For Joni and I, as female leaders in this music business, paying tribute the female musical heroes who have come before us is both an honour, and feels extremely important and relevant in this current awakening of women's voices, with #metoo and #timesup.
