Symphony of Sorrowful Songs with Stephanie Kwan and Krystian Sekowski November 2, 2019 Genre: Classical/Vocal
The Genesius Duo brings its audiences symphonic works that dare plunge into the depths of human emotion, both the heroic and the tragic, during times of War. Experience these musical memoirs through the dark Tragic Overture of Panufnik, stand amongst the prisoners of the concentration camps by listening to the 2nd movement of Symphony of Sorrowful Songs by Gorecki, bear witness to the genocide of Martinu's fellow Czechians in Memorial to Lidice, and allow yourself to be enveloped by the darkness and grandeur of Shostakovich's dramatic Fifth Symphony, one that reflects the struggles and resistance of both the common man and soldier alike. The program finds hope in the optimism found in the music of Granados and Milhaud, while the unrelenting energy of Lutoslawski's famous Variations on a Theme by Paganini will bring us to the midst of battle. This piano-duo experience will bring to life the emotions and experiences that connect peoples across time to those lost in the devastating World Wars.

The East Pointers November 7, 2019 Genre: Celtic
There’s a reason, beyond their dazzling musicianship and wildly entertaining live shows that The East Pointers have connected with audiences right across the globe, making new, original roots music the hippest, most vibrant thing going. The reason? The East Pointers - fiddler/singer Tim Chaisson, banjoist Koady Chaisson and guitarist Jake Charron – write about real life, sketching out its joys and sorrows in vivid strokes. As a follow-up to their 2015 internationally acclaimed, JUNO Award-winning debut Secret Victory, their sophomore album What We Leave Behind shares stories previously unheard but framed by a familiar context. With a captivating balance between their traditional-sounding instrumental tunes, and catchy radio-ready songs, The East Pointers reach out with open arms to a wide range of listeners, inviting them to discover a new love of folk music.

Kim Churchill, w/ Ocie Elliott November 12, 2019 Genre: World
Kim Churchill’s style is explosive, with intricate fingerpicking, percussive beats, powerful harmonica melodies and a soulful voice. His songwriting reflects his coastal lifestyle – growing up on the East Coast of Australia, with the surf at his front door - and his nomadic life on the road. Whether he’s blazing through a distorted guitar solo or harmonising with himself over feather-light instrumentation, there’s a sense that his music is authentic. His ambitious new venture, a global multi-EP project, features songs that tap into the people and environments of some of his favourite parts of the world — Germany, Canada, the UK and (naturally) his own land down under — in collaboration with local artists and producers.

The Peking Acrobats
Friday, February 14, 2020 - 7:00 p.m. Saturday, February 15, 2020 - 1:00 p.m. Genre: Family For the last thirty two years, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess at such arts as trick-cycling, precision tumbling, juggling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They push the limits of human ability, defying gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. The Peking Acrobats are often accompanied by live musicians who skillfully play traditional Chinese instruments; the timehonoured Chinese music coalesces with high-tech special effects and aweinspiring acrobatic feats, creating an exuberant entertainment event with the festive pageantry of a Chinese Carnival.
