SUMMARY:Nova Sinfonia & Brittany Cann perform the classics
DESCRIPTION:Join Nova Sinfonia for an evening of dramatic orchestral music and brilliant vocal artistry as the orchestra continues its 30th Anniversary Season. Under the direction of Greg Burton\, the program welcomes acclaimed soprano Brittany Cann for a selection of powerful operatic arias by Mozart and Beethoven. \nThe concert opens with Mozart’s Symphony No. 24 in B-flat major\, K.182\, a vibrant early work full of elegance and youthful energy. Brittany Cann then takes the stage for Beethoven’s thrilling “Abscheulicher!… O komm\, Hoffnung”from Fidelio\, followed by two beloved Mozart arias: Donna Anna’s dramatic “Non mi dir\, bell’idol mio” from Don Giovanni and the Countess’s deeply expressive “Porgi\, amor” from Le nozze di Figaro. \nThe orchestra will also perform Frederick Delius’s Two Pieces for Small Orchestra\, music of shimmering colour and lyrical beauty\, before concluding the evening with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 in C major\, Op. 21\, a work that marks the bold arrival of Beethoven’s symphonic voice.

SUMMARY:Stories Behind the Music: Transition to Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating journey to modern times: from iconic masterpieces to hidden gems. Music by Dvorak\, Debussy\, Piazzolla\, and more! \n\n\n\n\nThe Grand Finale of the Series \nThere is a human life behind every piece of art. \nStories Behind the Music is a listening and concert series I created to explore classical music as a living story—shaped by real people\, their friendships\, and the world they lived in. \nLast year\, we explored the Baroque and Romantic periods. This winter\, we focused on the Classical era. Now\, we arrive at our final chapter for the season: The Transition to the Modern Period. \nWhat to Expect \nThis is not a formal lecture\, nor is it a traditional concert. It is something in between: a thoughtful and social way to experience music. \nFor this final concert\, Soul Strings Ensemble appears as a Piano Trio. We will perform a “huge” program of music that bridges the gap between the old world and the new. You will hear masterpieces by Dvořák\, Rachmaninov\, Skryabin\, Debussy\, Piazzolla\, Villa-Lobos\, and more. \nEven with so much music and many stories\, the whole event (including the talk and intermission) will be no longer than 2 hours. \nThe Performers: \n\nHartmut Richter — Violin\nJoseph Dowell — Piano\nAnna Shabalina — Cello & Stories\n\nAdmission is free. No prior musical knowledge is required. After the music\, please stay for a relaxed social time with light refreshments and snacks to talk and connect. \nWith Gratitude \nThis project would not be possible without the ongoing support of the United Church of Canada Foundation and the Hillside United Church team. Thank you for generously providing the space\, volunteers\, refreshments\, and your care. \nSpecial thanks as well to the Royal Bank of Canada for their generous donation\, which allows this program to remain free and accessible to everyone. \nPlease reserve your spot to ensure a guaranteed seat\, and we can plan refreshments accordingly.

SUMMARY:Stories Behind the Music
DESCRIPTION: Transition to Modern Times (Listening Session)\nThere is a human life behind every piece of art. \nStories Behind the Music is a curated listening and concert series I created to explore classical music as a living story—shaped by real people\, their friendships\, struggles\, and the world they lived in. \n100 Years of Stories\nOn March 29th\, we gather to explore the Transition to Modern Times. \nI will share stories that cover the entire journey of the 20th century—from the late 19th century all the way to the year 2000. We will talk about how history changed and how composers found new ways to express their world. \nA Mysterious Masterpiece\nBecause the music of this era is so powerful and deep\, we will dedicate our entire listening time to one single\, monumental composition from a curated recording. \nThis “hidden gem” was written in 1999\, at the very end of the century. It is a profound bridge between the old world and the new. I am keeping the title a surprise for now\, but we will experience this massive work together in the quiet of the sanctuary. \nYour Guide to Modern Times\nAs with our previous sessions\, I am preparing a personal guide for you to take home. This guide isn’t just about one piece; it covers the entire transitional period. It includes my personal recommendations for: \n\nEssential modern classical music\nMovies that capture the spirit of the era\nBooks to help you dive deeper into the history\n\nWhat to Expect\n\nA Century in Stories: A brief history of music from the late 1800s to the turn of the millennium.\nThe “1999” Mystery: A deep-dive listening session of one major work that defines the end of the century.\nA Take-Home Guide: My curated list of music\, films\, and books to help you explore this era on your own.\nSocial Connection: Stay after the session for light refreshments\, snacks\, and conversation.\n\nEvent Details\n\nWhen: Sunday\, March 29th | 2:00 PM\nWhere: Hillside United Church (Sanctuary)\nAdmission: Free (Registration requested)\n\nSave the Date: Join us for our series finale: a live Piano Trio concert on April 19th at 2:00 PM\, featuring music by Dvořák\, Rachmaninoff\, Debussy\, Piazzolla\, and more! \nWith Gratitude\nThis project would not be possible without the ongoing support of the United Church of Canada Foundation and the Hillside United Church team. Thank you for providing the space and care to make this happen. \nSpecial thanks to the Royal Bank of Canada for their generous donation\, which keeps this program free and accessible to everyone. \nPlease reserve your spot so we can plan refreshments and seating accordingly.
