Redboot Trio

A gypsy jazz trio that took a left turn into Western swing? A Paris café band whose waltzes suddenly detour into wild Balkan dances?

Just when you think you have the Redboot Trio pegged, they veer off into different musical territory, from fast-paced virtuosic instrumentals to heart-rending melodies, to soaring vocal harmonies, all delivered with fiendish skill and energy. Their debut album, “Liquor For Thieves” is now available.

A short award-winning film Written and Directed by Jereme Watt, Produced by Aisla Webster, Executive Producer Paul Armstrong Winner of Best Canadian Short Film at the 2010 Canada International Film Festival.

Inside Rosie’s mind, she’s beautiful, intelligent, fun and normal. To society and her family, she’s autistic. A glimmer of understanding finally opens a new chapter in the family’s relationship as she breaks through the stereotype of her condition and the barriers of communication “U” and “I” take for granted.

Shall We Dansu (1996) Feature Film Directed and Written by Masayuki Suo Shohei Sugiyama, a successful but unhappy Japanese accountant finds the missing passion in his life when he begins to secretly take ballroom dance lessons, and slowly begins to fall in love with the art form itself.

His works are painted in acrylic on canvas or paper. They are intended to be hung where people live and work and to be thought-provoking, aesthetically pleasing, and worthy of repeated viewing.

He strives for a balance between simplicity and complexity, and in this connection, Michael is inspired by the works of Richard Diebenkorn.

The word duende is used to describe music that moves both body and soul. Guitarist Doug Towle has tapped into this dark magnetic energy which springs up from the earth through the souls of your feet. Doug’s new CD “Desire, Heat & Spirit� was released in the fall of 2009 and continues to win new fans all over, with its unique blend of world music and Spanish guitar, jazz-infused rumba and flamenco with a dash of modern world beat. Doug’s music has been a hit with people of all ages and walks of life and is sure to please anyone who experiences one of his dynamic performances.

3:00PM - MARIACHI LOS DORADOS

Mariachi Los Dorados was founded in 2003, by its director Alex Alegria, with a goal to bring the traditional music of Mexico to Canada - best know as Mariachi music. Mariachi Los Dorados name comes from General Francisco Villa’s army “Los Dorados” in which some members were from North America. These musicians deliver the passion, love and respect they feel for México and its culture and maintain and promote the beauty of Mexico through its traditional and uplifting music.

This chamber ensemble is comprised of members of The National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC). NYOC is Canada’s leading training organization for aspiring young orchestral musicians. Selecting only the most gifted musicians from across the country, the NYOC provides world-class training to prepare them for life as professional musicians and beyond.

The brainchild of noted conductor Walter Susskind, who believed that a training orchestra for outstanding young Canadian musical talent was essential, the NYOC was formed in the summer of 1960. Harmony Arts Festival is proud to host this concert in celebration on the NYOC 50th Anniversary.
