ROMEO ET JULIETTE

Charles Gounod
French opera at its most romantic

ON STAGE FOR 4 PERFORMANCES ONLY – November 26th, 29th, December 1st, 3rd, 2011, at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

As a core member of the Vancouver Island Symphony Orchestra, Heather will be performing in upcoming concerts throughout 2011/2012.

The Vancouver Island Symphony Presents:

The Port Theatre, Nanaimo, B.C.

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011

Guest Artist- Ian Parker on piano
“a technically assured and enthusiastic young Canadian pianist”- The Washington Post

Schumann: Manfred Overture
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1
Tchaikovsky: Polonaise and
Waltz from Eugene Onegin
Schumann: Symphony No. 3 (“Rhenish”)

While their music lifts our hearts and souls, composers Robert Schumann and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky were both afflicted with hereditary mental illness and bouts of immense depression. Out of their afflictions came genius and beauty. Here their most expressive music is brought to life by the talented musicians of the VI Symphony, and popular Canadian pianist Ian Parker returns to Nanaimo from his home in New York City to perform Tchaikovsky’s ever-powerful, ever-stirring Piano Concerto No. 1— Music that speaks to the soul!

Join Artistic Director Pierre Simard for Pre-Concert Talk before the performance in the Port Theatre starting at 6:30 p.m. (doors will close at 6:35 p.m.for the Pre-Concert Talk and re-open prior to the performance)
Post Concert Talk following the Performance with Conductor and Musicians
