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

Lorne Elliott - From
CBC's Madly Off in All Directions
Thursday, November 15, 2007 - 8:00pm -
10:00pm
Location: The Opera House
Lorne Elliott has performed from
Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia
and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a
folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept
writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners.
The outcome of such training is a very special show of comedy
and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and
foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique
and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his
material, joined with keen observations of today's trends that
make Lorne Elliott's work so special. www.lorne-elliott.com
