Tired of Winter? – Take in a concert

By David Canton

Far too often we tend to think – like the saying that an expert is anyone from out of town – that the best musicians and artists are from out of town.  To disprove that, I encourage you to go to a concert by Orchestra London, and/or the Amabile choirs. 

The cost is quite reasonable, you are supporing local talent, and if you have not heard them before, you might be pleasantly surprised by how good they are.  The various Amabile choirs have, for example, performed around the world. 

All of the Amabile choirs are performing this Sunday at Centennial Hall in a concert called “African Stories“.  

On March 4th the Amabile Primus choir (mens choir) performs with the Nylons at the London City Music Theatre.

Orchestra London has concerts ranging from classical to pops to pop.  Here is their March calendar.    On March 11th and 12th, they perform, along with the Jeans ‘n Classics band, music by The Police and Sting.  

On March 26, Violinist Annette-Barbara Vogel of the UWO Don Wright Faculty of Music, described as “one of the finest violinists of her generation”, performs the Sibelius? Violin Concerto with Orchestra London.  I must admit to not being as educated on classical music as I should be, but I’m told that this would be a performance worth hearing even if you don’t consider yourself a classical music fan.

For transparency - I’m on the Orchestra London Board of directors, and my son sings with the Amable choirs.
