The concert opened with the revitalized Parrsboro Junior Band playing, including two pieces they had seen only two weeks prior to the concert.
This was also the first time the new lighting system had been used in a ‘performance’ setting and Alex Odlin Continue Reading »

The Sackville (NS) Community Band is comprised of 55 members varying in ages and musical experience who were brought together for their love of music. They are from many walks of life – professional musicians, retired musicians, local music teachers, students and members from the community. They come well recommended and it will be a treat for us to see people in “tuxes”.

Instrumental Improvisation Intensive
Update July 17
As of today the intensive- an excellent descriptive- is going extremely well. The motivators of the session are seasoned professionals who bring an incredible wealth of knowledge to the world of painting with music. Paul Cram, saxophonist, is the magician who put all the people together. Pierre Tanguay, master percussionist brings charm, grace and a wonderful sense of playfulness. Deanne LaBrosse, sampler and electronic guru opens the door to a world of potential through her theatric innovations and Lyle Ellis, bassist and stalker of interplanetary wavelengths unleashes a new way of seeing/hearing the way we see/play music. A fabulous experience thus far, floundering through revelation.
