RE: An Event Not to be Missed
Hi all,
I would like to tell you about a Benefit Gala in Montreal on
September 12 at 7:30 p.m. It has a particular interesting vocal
program; I hope those of you in the Montreal area can come.
* The concert celebrates the 5th anniversary of La Scena Musicale as a
non-profit publication and website and helps to raise funds for our
continued operation.
Created as a magazine for all interested readers
of classical music, our philosophy has always been and will continue to
be to educate, inform and inspire the public.
* The concert feature some of Canada's leading musicians, all of whom
have agreed to waive their concert fees in the spirit of this
fundraising event.
* the program was constructed as a Readers' Choice (our readers voted
on the works they want to hear) and there is also an Editor's
Choice-- I couldn't help myself.
* Readers' Choice: Contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux, winner of the 2000
Queen Elisabeth International competition, will sing two Duparc and
Traume from Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder. Soprano Donna Brown, who has
recorded with John Elliot Gardiner, will sing 4 Schubert Lieder.
Countertenor extraordinaire Daniel Taylor will sing Ombra mai fu and
the first movement of Bach's cantata 170. Soprano Nathalie Paulin
will sing three operatic arias.
* Editor's Choice: Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Daniel Taylor will both
participate in Handel's Giulio Cesare at the Canadian Opera Company
in Toronto in April 2002 with a remarkable cast including Ewa Podles,
Isabel Bayrakdarian and Brian Asawa. As a preview, I asked
Marie-Nicole and Daniel to sing the Act I duo between Cornelia and
Sesto. To close the program, Donna Brown and Daniel Taylor will sing
No. 1 and 12 from Pergolesi's Stabat Mater.
* The concert will feature the Montreal debut of the new baroque
ensemble Theatre of Early Music, comprising some of Montreal's finest
baroque musicians.
* Door Prize: Win one of two pairs of Blueroom speakers (Value: $699)
http://media-and-beyond.com/en/blue3.html.
* Tickets: Friends of La Scena Musicale VIP tickets for the concert (i.e.,
those tickets which include reception) are $50 and can be reserved by
calling (514) 948-2520. Our Friends will be recognized in the concert
programme and in the October issue of La Scena Musicale. Regular
