St Cecilia Concert Series presents Bowties

St Cecilia Concert Series presents Bowties on Sunday, February 14 at 3 pm at St John’s Anglican Church in Lunenburg. Bowties, are four incredible musicians including Duo Concertante (violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves) plus Gordon Stobbe on fiddle and Greg Simm on guitar.

The violin and piano…. and the fiddle and guitar! These two pairs, one classically trained (Duo Concertante), one folk-oriented (Stobbe/Simm), come together to juxtapose, contemplate, and explore with the audience their seemingly disparate (or similar!) traditions and artistry. With virtuosity, insight, imagination and humour, they present a thrilling musical experience spanning Bach to Benoit. Between the Duo Concertante’s ravishing renditions of the traditional classics, and Gordon Stobbe’s toe-tapping Metis fiddle tunes, maritime airs and his own heartwarming compositions, all musical possibilities are open to discovery.

For over 10 years, Duo Concertante has performed hundreds of recitals world-wide. It has toured China and Canada and performed in England, Europe, Russia and in the U.S.A. to acclaim, most notably at its recent Wigmore Hall (London, U.K.) debut. Its three CD’s on the ATMA Classique label and live performances are broadcast regularly throughout Canada and the U.S.A.

"Legendary fiddle player Gordon Stobbe" (The Halifax Mail Star) is a master fiddler of a wide variety of North American fiddle styles and is in great demand as a performer and teacher across North America. Guitarist Greg Simm specializes in many musical styles ranging from country to traditional folk and has performed with such notable Maritime performers as Laura Smith, Natalie MacMaster, Lenny Gallant, Kendra MacGillvary and Richard Wood.

Tickets are $20 ($10 for students at the door) and are available at Fulton’s Pharmacy and at the door. They can also be reserved by calling 634-9994.
