Dvorak/Smetana

Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 7:30 PM

The Trio Fibonacci plunges you into the passion of the 19th century with the emblematic composers of Slavic romanticism with the music of Dvorak and Smetana.

Trio Fibonacci made its first appearance on the Canadian music scene in 1998, with the press reporting that “to hear them is to enter into the world of miracles” (Le Devoir, Montreal).

This ensemble is internationally recognized for its brilliant interpretations of the piano trio repertoire, from the works of Haydn through to collaborations with over sixty living composers on four continents. Their concert tours have led them to several European countries, to Argentina, South Africa, Brazil and Japan, to Berlin, San Francisco and New York.

Emilie Steele and the Deal

Emilie Steele & The Deal are a grab bag of catchy hooks and toe tapping turnarounds, delivered with a spirited life force. 

The band cut their teeth gigging around Kingston before releasing their 2019 eponymous EP of unabashed indie rock, colourfully animated retro ditties, and reaching alt-country ballads. Steele's animated delivery, vocal melodies and clever turns of phrase soar alongside the weaving riffs and driving rhythms of powerhouse bandmates Jack Lockridge, Jon Irwin, and Kiel Vereecken.
