Stories Behind the Music: Transition to Modern Times (Live Edition)
Advertisement
There is a human life behind every piece of art.
On April 19th, join us for the grand finale of our season! We are continuing to explore the Transition to Modern Times theme with a huge program of chamber music that bridges the gap between the old world and the new.
What to expect:
Live Piano Trio Concert: Soul Strings Ensemble appears as a trio featuring Hartmut Richter (violin), Joseph Dowell (piano), and myself (Anna Shabalina, cello & stories).
Iconic Compositions & Hidden Gems: We will perform works by Dvorak, Rachmaninov, Skryabin, Debussy, Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, and more.
Woven Stories: I’ll share informal stories about the composers’ lives and how they navigated a changing world.
Social Time: After the music and during the intermission, please stay for light refreshments, snacks, and a chance to connect.
The entire event, including stories and intermission, will be around 2 hours. This is a thoughtful and social way to experience classical music. No prior knowledge is required!
When: Sunday, April 19th | 2:00 PM
Where: Hillside United Church (Sanctuary)
Admission: Free
With Gratitude
This project is supported by the United Church of Canada Foundation, the Hillside United Church team, and the Royal Bank of Canada. Their generosity allows this program to remain free and accessible for our community.
Please reserve your spot here so we can guarantee your seat and plan the snacks!
