SUMMARY:Brahms: a German requiem
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special collaboration between Nova Sinfonia and Dalhousie Collegium Cantoruman as we present Johannes Brahms’ A German Requiem\, one of the great choral-orchestral masterpieces of the Romantic era. Unlike the traditional Latin Requiem Mass\, Brahms’ work is a deeply human meditation on grief\, comfort\, and hope\, setting German biblical texts that speak directly to the living. \nUnder the direction of conductor Gary Ewer\, this moving performance brings together orchestra and chorus in a work of remarkable emotional depth and luminous warmth. We are delighted to welcome the Dalhousie Collegium Cantorum as our guest ensemble\, whose artistry adds richness and power to this unforgettable score. \nFrom its opening words\, “Blessed are they that mourn\,” to its serene and consoling conclusion\, A German Requiem offers solace\, dignity\, and a transcendent sense of peace—an experience that resonates long after the final note! \nTickets

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro\, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam\, and father\, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music\, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked. \nHis dad\, Dutch Mason\, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play\, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers\, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice\, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd. \nThis debut CD features Garrett’s talent for strong original songs\, a voice that is reminiscent of a veteran performer and his extraordinary aptitude for playing electric guitar. Garrett’s original talent was awarded in 2005 when he received a Juno for Best Blues Album. Garrett Mason is poised to be one of the brightest stars to emerge from the East Coast Blues scene in years. \nGarrett’s band released their sophomore album Love and Sound in July 2008 which was nominated for a Juno Award. The album won Blues Artist/Group Recording of the Year at the 2009 Music Nova Scotia and Industry Awards.

SUMMARY:Alfie Zappacosta
DESCRIPTION:The Carleton is delighted to again (it’s becoming an annual thing!) welcome 2-time Juno award winner and Canadian icon Alfie Zappacosta back to our stage for two performances – accompanied by Silvio Pupo \nAlfie Zappacosta is undeniably one of Canada’s premier songwriters and performers with chart topping hits and a recording and acting career that has spanned 40 years. He continues to evolve as an artist by “doing it his way”\, an effort that has been rewarded with an impressive song catalogue and a discerning loyal fan base. \n\n\n\n\n\nAlfie Zappacosta decided on a music career in his teens and set his sights upon being a guitarist. When his vocal dexterity and song writing proficiency were uncovered by a publisher while writing for his first original band “Surrender”\, events would be put in motion to champion Zappacosta (dropping his first name) as a solo artist and bring him to the world’s attention. “Start Again”\, “Passion”\, “When I Fall in Love Again” and “Nothing Can Stand In Your Way” became staples on Canadian adult contemporary radio and Zappacosta became a personified Rock Star. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1987\, Walt Disney’s Danger Bay would bring Zappacosta an episode written specifically for him titled “Rock Star”. In the same year\, he penned and sang “Overload” exclusively for the multi-platinum soundtrack “Dirty Dancing” and Loverboy would record Zappacosta’s “That’s Where The Money Goes” for their Wildside album. In 1988\, he was awarded JUNOs for “Album of The Year’ and “Most Promising Artist”\, an American Music Award for “Most Popular Album of The Year” and named the Canadian Publishers Music Association’s “Best Rock Star”. \n\n\n\n\n\nZappacosta’s distinctive baritone voice did not go unnoticed by artistic directors and in 1990\, he was called to deliver his greatest challenge of his career – singing Andrew Lloyd Webber. Alfie’s portrayals of Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar and Che Guevara in Evita would bring a new audience and support his efforts to delineate his pop/rock image – a moniker that never reflected his authentic personality. The release of “Innocence Ballet” in 1996 would introduce Alfie Zappacosta (taking back his first name) and give center stage to his true rich vocals\, his mastery at romance\, his astute take on relationships and his advanced knowledge of music. Alfie is rewarded for his efforts with numerous award nominations in the Smooth Jazz genre and a performance with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra in 2005. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZappacosta has polished his live concert performances exposing his sophisticated\, intimate and intense personality. His performances deliver a blend of acoustic\, jazz and pop music prompting the listener to engage soulfully.  And the hits that originally brought Zappacosta to the world’s attention? – Alfie hasn’t turned his back on any of these songs. You will hear them in his program performed the way they were originally written and meant to be heard. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets
