“The interplay of light and music has captivated artists and audiences for centuries and this program will be no exception,” says a media release. “It will be an evening of enchantment as the intimate qualities of light through music are explored.”
Each piece of music in the program has been carefully selected by St. Andrew’s music director, Devon Hansen, to create an atmosphere of intimacy and wonder, the release said. It will feature love songs from stage and screen such as Phantom of the Opera as well as jazz standards including Fly Me to the Moon.
Hansen will demonstrate his piano skills on the piano throughout the evening along with many local musicians including violinists Jennifer Trinca and Heather Sarson as well as vocalists Andrew Derynck, Colin Bell, Mikayla Lozon, Victoria Hoshowsky, Meggan MacKenize and Christine Baribeau.
The program will also feature Veronica Redfern on the French horn, Filip Stasiak on the cello, Jessica Morrow on the oboe and Margaret Campbell and Doug Banwell on the flute, the release said. A string quartet will round out the program.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Donations – suggested $20 per person – will be gratefully accepted at the door and will go towards the music program at St. Andrew’s, the release said.
All are welcome.
