Dave Wickerham -- In Concert

KTOS Kingston Theatre Organ Society Presents Dave Wickerham in Concert Friday November 8th at  89 Kirkpatrick St. Kingston ON. K7K 7G4 7:30 PM

Dave just loves Kingston's Theatre Organ. He is more than happy to come to Kingston  to play on the this The Largest Theatre Pipe Organ in Canada. It was built by the Chicago Kimball Pipe Organ factory in 1928 for installation in the State Theatre in Youngstown Ohio.

Dave's program is quite varied including both older selections and many more current works. During the second half of his performance Dave draws on a list of requests that he gathers during the intermission, to be part of the  program for the second half.

Although the concert organ is housed in a church the program certainly is not church music, but we might hear some of that as well.

Remember Nov 8th 7:30 PM tickets at the door or advance sales to Nancy Young (613-389-6218) or royandnancy@sympathico.ca

Reborn: Songs of War & Peace delves into the intersection between music and the human experience during times of conflict and remembrance. Through a myriad of musical styles, the concert illustrates how music has been a source of solace, a means of processing grief, and a beacon of hope that spans history and culture. 

The concert will feature a diverse selection of pieces that highlight the dual themes of war and peace, juxtaposing the stark realities of conflict with the enduring human spirit and capacity for hope. 

Musical highlights include excerpts from “Seven Last Words of Unarmed” by Joel Thompson; a powerful piece that memorializes the final words of unarmed black men killed by police. The concert will showcase a world premiere by Aaron Manswell, the winner of Cantabile's 2024 BIPOC Song Competition. The concert will also feature pieces by renowned Canadian composers Eleanor Daley, Mark Sirett, Hussein Janmohamed, and Cree-Dene composer Sherryl Sewepegaham, offering a rich tapestry of sounds and stories that reflect our diverse cultural heritage.

Choirs featured are: Adults, Youth and Medio
