Itamar played a mix of classical, contemporary, and own compositions, displaying his gift to interpret various musical genres and intricate rhythmic patterns. Thanks to our artist and our appreciative audience.

  • Buttons and Bellows

    A wonderfully nostalgic and mellow afternoon of accordion and piano music by Walter Martella and Karina Inkster …

    Thanks to all who came out to listen, and to our artists for bringing ALL the accordions to transport us to faraway places and times!

  • Dance me to your beauty

    Nancy Dahn and Timothy Steeves of Duo Concertante held their audience’s attention effortlessly during this afternoon’s concert.

    Music of translucent hopefulness (Beethoven’s “Spring” sonata), music to show us how to find beauty in difficult things (Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin by Kelly-Marie Murphy), music of steadfast love and hope (Solveig’s Song, Grieg), inspiring soundscapes that remind us of our connection to each other and to beauty (Love in the Time of Covid by Dawn Avery), and finally the emotional maturity of Brahms’ 3rd violin sonata – a beautifully balanced program performed by two outstanding artists.

    Thank you to our wonderful performers, and to each and every audience member of this sold-out concert!

  • Piano de Colores

    Wonderful local pianist Angélica López-Arzate performed for a full house this afternoon, and charmed our audience with her artistry, colourful programming, and warm personality.

    We were thrilled that so many people attended our concert at Duncan United on November 5th – we truly value your support! Our favourite part of the concert was the Adagio of Beethoven’s Quartet in F, op. 59 no. 1.

  • Goths and Vikings

    We know that not everyone could be at our October concert, and we regret that you missed this outstanding performance by Domagoj Ivanovic and Noel McRobbie!

    A standing ovation right after the first piece, followed by several more during the program – we were enthralled, and felt so privileged that these masterful musicians graced our stage today.
