The Trillium Waldorf School has announced an event fusing internationally accomplished musicians with an invigorating chamber music program.
A Chamber Music Concert features musicians from professional chamber ensembles, Sinfonia Toronto and Incontri Di Canna, and “promises the audience an unforgettable experience” said Connie Watson, a member of the event’s planning committee.
The concert will be held, June 2 at 8pm in the Dublin Street United Church in Guelph.
Sinfonia Toronto is an established chamber orchestra, performing regularly in the Glenn Gould Studio, CBC, Toronto, as well as touring internationally.
Ensemble members appearing in Guelph include: Erika Crino, piano; Sarah Boyer, violin; Eun A Jo, violin; Julian Knight,viola; William Findlay, cello; and Calum Macleod, bass.
The Incontri di Canna Ensemble is an international chamber music festival in Calabria, Italy, directed by William Findlay, who will perform cello at the Guelph concert.
“William is a national treasure,” said Watson of Findlay, who in 1963 earned a position in the Toronto Symphony, becoming its youngest member, and since 1969 has continued to play with that symphony.
The stirring concert program will include Mozart’s Divertimento in D major K.136, Beethoven’s Quartet Op.18 No.4 , Schubert’s piano Quintet (known as The Trout), and Puccini’s Crisantemi.
