The image is a promotional photograph for a classical music event featuring two musicians: a violist and a pianist. On the left, the pianist is seated at a grand piano in an elegant room with a staircase in the background, wearing a teal dress and looking contemplatively to the side. On the right stands the violist, dressed in a strapless, patterned gown, holding her instrument and bow with a poised expression, as if ready to perform. The lighting suggests a calm, intimate atmosphere suitable for classical music. A graphic overlay in the top left corner shows "MAR 02" indicating the date of the event, with "MARS" beneath it, referring to March in French. The overall mood is one of sophistication and artistic focus.

About this Concert

PROGRAM: Bray, Clarke, Pidgorna, Tabakova

ARTISTS: Marina Thibeault, viola; Janelle Fung, piano

Let the celebrated duo of JUNO Award-winning violist Marina Thibeault and multiple prize-winning pianist Janelle Fung take you on an extraordinary exploration of classical and contemporary sounds, featuring exclusively works by female composers. Immerse yourself in the energetic and vibrant rhythms of Dobrinka Tabakova's "Suite In Jazz," a piece that masterfully fuses the harmonic sophistication of classical music with the improvisational spirit of jazz. Experience "A Pärtian Meditation on an Invented Folksong" by Anna Pidgorna, a contemplative piece that invites reflection through its serene and expansive sonic landscape. Be moved by the emotional depth and lyrical beauty of Rebecca Clarke's "Sonata for Viola and Piano 1919," a groundbreaking work that showcases Clarke's rich melodic writing and the expressive potential of the viola. Let your imagination roam free with Charlotte Bray's "Invisible Cities," a contemporary masterpiece that draws inspiration from Italo Calvino's novel, crafting an aural landscape that will transport you to far-off, unseen places. Renowned for her rich and deep sound as well as her virtuosity and exceptional enthusiasm, violist Marina Thibeault invests the musical scene with an ever-renewed fervour as a chamber musician, concert artist, and soloist. With a Bachelor of Music from the Eastman School of Music, a Master of Music from the Juilliard School, and a Ph.D. from the University of Montreal, pianist Janelle Fung has performed widely and has won prizes at many prestigious national and international competitions. This concert is a unique opportunity to celebrate the achievements of female composers and musicians at the start of International Women's Week on March 2, with a program that highlights the diversity and richness of women's contributions to classical and contemporary music.
