David Greenberg leads Maritime Canada's premiere baroque string ensemble in an exciting program that explores the rich vein of Venetian music in the 17th and 18th centuries. Also featured will be some of Boxwood's world renowned guest artists including English flutist Lisa Besnoziuk playing a flute concerto by Quantz, Marie Bouchard performing a harpsichord concerto of CPE Bach, and the great Uilleann piper Jerry O'Sullivan who will join Tempest for some arrangements from the 18th century Irish O'Farrell Collection. Don't miss this magical concert which kicks-off our 2009 Boxwood Festival and Workshop.
Our Tuesday night concert spans 500 years of music with performances by Canada's great recorder virtuoso Francis Colpron, baroque dancers Anne-Marie Gardette & Pierre Chartrand, tenor Edmund Brownless and the renowned composer & flutist Robert Dick with pianist Ursel Schlicht. Francis is the artistic director: Les Boréades de Montréal, running a successful series in Montreal, touring in North America and Europe, and recording many CDs on the ATMA label. Edmund Brownless will round out the first half with folk songs from the late renaissance & early baroque.With equally deep roots in classical music old and new and in free improvisation and new jazz, Robert has established himself as an artist who has not only mastered, but redefined the flute. Known worldwide for creating revolutionary visions of the flute's musical role, listening to Robert DICK play solo has been likened to the experience of hearing a full orchestra. His performances typically include flute (with his invention, the Glissando Headjoint®)piccolo, alto flute, and bass flutes in C and F. On special occasions, he'll bring out the giant, stand-up contrabass flute.
Boxwood's remarkable finale concert has become an eagerly anticipated annual event in Lunenburg. This year we feature performances by one of the greats of the Irish flute: Conal O'Grada, whose fast, rhythmically precise playing is driven by a spirit from the true heart of traditional music. He'll be joined by the multi-instrumentalist and singer Eamon O'LEARY as well as the piper Jerry O'Sullivan. Rod Garnett gather guests to play a set that features his astounding virtuosity and breadth of repertoire that spans from Eastern Europe to Bali to South America. The duo of Chris Norman & David Greenberg will also be featured in a blazing set drawn from the musical traditions of Maritime Canada and Scotland with guest dancer Marlys Norman. A grand finale with all of our artists concludes the show. For complete info on these stellar musicians visit our
