SUMMARY:Kluxen & Pouliot – Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:“Oh\, how difficult it is to make anyone see and feel in music what we see and feel ourselves.” Early\, temperamental reactions to his Violin Concerto must have stung Tchaikovsky\, but it’s now a firm favourite of countless violinists\, including Canada’s Blake Pouliot. A set of comic portraits of personality types\, or temperaments\, triggered Nielsen to recreate them in musical form\, from the introverted (melancholic and phlegmatic) to the extroverted (choleric and sanguine). Composer Missy Mazzoli’s mesmeric Sinfonia is music ‘in the shape of the solar system\,’ weaving and coiling itself in a sequence of pulsing loops. \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert underwritten by Natexa Verbrugge\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nBlake Pouliot underwritten by George Lovick

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Haydn's The Creation
DESCRIPTION:“In the beginning…” Drawing on biblical texts from Genesis and the Psalms\, as well as John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost\, Haydn moulded his gloriously tuneful and optimistic oratorio The Creation. Out of the chaos of darkness emerges light\, heaven and earth\, plants\, animals\, and humankind. Sung in English by a stellar cast of soloists and choristers\, this milestone musical work from the Age of Enlightenment continues to enthral audiences\, as joyful and life-affirming as a walk in a garden. \n\nSundays at the Royal Series underwritten by Jill Gibson and Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by Jade Gan\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nAmanda Forsythe underwritten by Dr. M.

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Brahms Symphony No. 3
DESCRIPTION:The product of a summer’s holiday in 1883\, Brahms’s Third Symphony has been described as being “…artistically the most perfect.” A single movement from Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 was the inspiration for Britten to present a musical posy: What the Wildflowers Tell Me. The poetry of Pablo Neruda moved Peter Lieberson to create a song cycle for his wife\, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson\, “one of the most extraordinarily affecting artistic gifts ever created by one lover to another.” \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert and Allyson McHardy underwritten by Dr. Fritz & Dora Boehm\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer

SUMMARY:Angela Hewitt Plays Mozart
DESCRIPTION:THIS CONCERT IS SOLD OUT.\nThe return of Angela Hewitt is a not-to-be-missed event. Mozart’s Concert-Rondo was a “new and improved” ending for a much earlier concerto\, designed to please the audiences in Vienna. Between 1784 and 1786\, Mozart completed a remarkable twelve concertos\, including the sublime C major (latterly nicknamed the Elvira Madigan) and the earthshattering C minor—one of only two that the legendary composer wrote in a minor key. Finzi’s Eclogue is a dialogue between piano and strings\, a nostalgic and quintessentially British work worth discovering. \n\nSundays at the Royal  Series underwritten by Jill Gibson and Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by Sheridan Scott & David Zussman\nAngela Hewitt underwritten by Natexa Verbrugge\, Marc & Patricia Lortie\, and Millingtons: Trustees of the Lou Williamson Scholarship Fund
