In its 72nd year, the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has taken its place as one of Canada’s foremost orchestral ensembles. Its current roster includes 56 musicians from Canada and around the world performing a wide-ranging repertoire from the great classical masterworks to pops and family concerts. The orchestra is the resident artistic ensemble, the “home team,” of the Winspear Centre, among the best acoustic concert halls in North America. The Tommy Banks Centre for Musical Creativity launched in 2013 delivering musical discovery programs that transform lives.
Sounds awesome. I have been to the Winspear Centre over 40 times for concerts. I have also seen the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra over 30 times. Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦#MusicConnectsUs
Ok let me explain a little bit about Canada knowledge compared with the neighbour. First thing identifying Canada is the stove. Secondly we have the lake that carries all st Lawrence river creatures that come from India. Thirdly we love poetry equally to the rich. Fourthly we keep the love of grandparents in the hearts and celebrate the Christmas tradition of generosity and kindness. Fifthly we built mosaic banks to keep the barrier defensively to the New Zealand enemies invading. Sixthly we don’t complain about the disadvantages carried from the family. Seventhly we don’t initiate a war that is violent or invading. Eighthly we don’t abandon our inheritances and love people. Ninthly we don’t butcher our parents even with hunger. Tenthly we don’t lie to gain advantage without honour
O Canada must be toned not flowing strings just express and forget! It’s an action that is more than agreement! The enhancement is the pole that guards the nation.
Such a fun and accomplished interpretation! I'd just read "I feel that with such a title, the Eyeglasses duo has to be played with a really playful attitude, exactly like two friends having fun, teasing each other." This viola and cello really seem to embody this spirit! Playing by heart really enables this playfulness, too. Nice. (And by the way, way faster than I'll ever be able to aspire to....)
Barry, what is with all the grey hair? Its been a while since I last saw you at your parents place in Montreal in the early to mid 70s. Your dad would pick my mom up on the way to the MSO. I was on Messenger with Douglas about a month ago. I came across this video while I was watching one of Sasha Jorba Wu whom I met at Vancouver airport last December while on my way to the Gold Coast. All the best!
I am well aware that I am far too young and simultaneously far too old to say this, but... this slaps. Honestly, this is my favorite Beethoven piece I've found so far. Thanks for the performance.
look further, his chamber music is splendid Piano Trios, Cello Sonatas, Violin sonatas, the quintets, the strong quartets. I have a theory that he composed his best works with a woman in mind, his pupils, he had good taste in women, intelligent women, cultured, beautiful, Sadly he was in the wrong class .
Hey Nora….good to hear your voice. Enjoying the pop this year. I always watch for you. So much has changed since our last contact. Send me your phone number if you have the time! Hugs Karen Albert
Um feliz ano novo para todos nós e para as famílias do mundo inteiro que o senhor Jesus Cristo possa nos abençoar com muita saúde e paz 🕊️ e saúde e prosperidade e sucesso e fé e que traga muitas felicidades para todos amém 🙏🙌🌹🕊️😇🙏
I have listened to the ESO do this at Symphony under the Sky’s several times. Always my favourite. As a kid I used to listen at night to CBC classics and hear on the radio now the ESO from the Northern Albert a Jubilee Auditorium the old location they used to play at before the Windspere was built. The odd thing was living in Ottawa could go listen to the NAC Orchestra with Mario Bernardi, yet still prefer the ESO.
