Matthew TremblayGet ready for Dances With Music, a winds and piano concert, presented by Scotia Festival of Music. Happening on March 19, 2025, it will take place at The Peggy Corkum Music Room in Halifax starting at 7:30 PM.
The program includes Camille Saint-Saëns’ Tarantella, a whirlwind chamber piece that is as lively as it is intricate. Then, you’ll be serenaded with Olivier Messiaen’s captivating La Merle Noir, which was inspired by a birdsong.
Aside from the classics, the show will feature contemporary pieces, such as Matthew Knight’s Abstraction and Guillaume Connesson’s Techno-Parade.
Valerie Coleman’s Portraits of Langston, a personal favorite, will also blow you away with the range of expression and storytelling woven into every note.
