The third recital in this season’s Musical Mornings series in Coquitlam will feature a percussionist.
On Feb. 8, pianists Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann host Rod Thomas Squance of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for their show From Bach to Brubeck.
Together, they will perform a range of genres including a Bach cello suite transcribed for marimba as well as jazz tunes.
Squance has a doctoral degree from the University of Miami and is a scholar of Balinese gender wayang shadow theatre music, classical Indian Hindustani range music and Brazilian and Afro-Cuban sounds.
For tickets to the concert at $22/$15, call the Evergreen Cultural Centre box office at 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
The next Musical Mornings’ event is on March 29 with pianist Sarah Hagen, who started the series.
Meanwhile, the husband-and-wife duo will play Marcel’s new two-piano arrangements of Pink Floyd classics as well as Mike Oldfied’s Tubular Bells Part 1 — the theme from The Exorcist, the cult-like film from 1971. That concert is on Feb. 4, also at the Evergreen. The pair will follow-up with Broadway Love Stories, on March 5. Tickets for both shows are $49, or $29 for one event.
