Thursday, October 11, 2007 - 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: THe Opera House

Philip Grant, Todd Jang and Frederik Robert have been identified as "three talented, young, classically trained lyric tenors who have separately been delighting audiences across North America and Europe." These three brilliant tenors infuse their performances with their offstage camaraderie, and warm the audience with their intimacy and humour. Romanza has taken tenor repertoire to new heights by re-invigorating opera hits, Italian favourites, popular folksongs and well-loved ballads with their own irresistible and original arrangements for the contemporary audience. Romanza is the real deal. Authentic. Talented. Genuine. www.romanzamusic.com

Beaver Valley Concert Society - Bach with a Twist Quartet

Saturday, October 20, 2007 - 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Grace United Church, 140 Bruce Street, Thornbury

The Beaver Valley Concert Society returns for it's eighteenth season with an eclectic mix of genres, talent and originality. The first concert, on Saturday, October 20, 2007, at the Grace United Church in Thornbury, kicks off with the Bach with a Twist Quartet featuring well-known jazz musicians, (Mark Thompson, clarinet; Ch. Cozens, piano; George Kozub, bass; Tom Jestadt, drums;). Their programme follows the through line from Bach to Brubeck and back. Spiced with humour and virtuoso playing, the evening may well prove that Bach would have been a jazz maestro had he been alive today.

The second concert, on November 17, 2007, will feature Caroline Leonardelli, Harpist, and Julie Nesrallah, Mezzo Soprano, in a fascinating programme of Debussy, Faure and Bellini. Two successful solo artists have come together to create an unusual and compelling duet of harp and voice - a sweet resonance for the onset of longer nights.

The third concert, on April 5, 2008, features the glamourous Madawaska Quartet. Four women (Sarah Fraser Raff, violin; Rebecca van der Post, violin; Anna Redekov, viola; Amy Laing, cello;) weave a magical mix of Verdi, Dvorak, Puccini, Mozart and others with charm and vivacity. They bring the experience of six years of collaboration, touring and musical adventures to the evening.

The final concert, on May 3, 2008, is entitled 'If Music Be The Food of Love', performed by Page Two and Friends, involving instrumentalists and actors in an interactive programme of readings and music from Purcell to Sondheim dealing with the eternal theme of love. Not to be missed! BVCS concerts are held in the United Church in Thornbury, at 8:00 pm. Tickets are available at a number of local outlets, (Crow's Nest in Collingwood (519-599-7361), Stuff to Read in Meaford (519-538-1662) and Jessica's Book Nook in Thornbury (519-599-7361). Tickets cost $25 for a single performance (students $15). Season tickets for the four concert series are offered at substantial savings -- $80 for adults, $70 for seniors, $40 for students. There is also a family rate of $170, plus a special group rate of $20 per person (for parties of 10 or more). For information call 519-538-2453.
