Artistic + General Director’s Note Voices3 is a unique opportunity to discover the musical and performance universes of three formidable female vocalist-performers; three expressions of a form of absolute; three intrepid adventurers into human expression and human emotion that carve their way into the very heart (or deeper still) of our being. There is no comparing the sumptuous, at times almost carnivorous voice of Petra Magoni and her accompanist straordinario Ferruccio Spinetti, a Mediterranean pulse at its most intense; the haunting, at times truly other-worldly interpretations of Fides Krucker and her ensemble of musicians, accompanied by the lithe, inhabited bodies of dancers Peggy Baker, Laurence Lemieux and Heidi Strauss; and the visceral, ageless vocal art of Tanya Tagaq, brought to our stage with the magicianship of Greenlandic mask dancer Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, two traditions which converse and explode before our very eyes. Our lives, life itself would be all the poorer without the art of these three women. It is an honour to share these moments with you. Matthew Jocelyn
