Pianists Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann wrap up their inaugural Musical Mornings series this season in Coquitlam with a history lesson about Tango.
The married couple, who took over the touring series last fall from fellow pianist Sarah Hagen, will play their fifth and final show next Wednesday at the Evergreen Cultural Centre.
Among the composers on their “spicy” program are Piazzolla, Prokoviev and Poulenc (Tango is the partner dance that originated in the 1880s in Argentina and Uruguay).
Flautist Paolo Bertolussi, who was due to appear with the duo on April 19, won’t be able to attend “due to unforeseen circumstances,” according to the facility’s website.
Past Musical Morning guests were: Calgary cellist Beth Root Sandvoss, violinist Mark Ferris, percussionist Rod Thomas Squance and Hagen herself, who now calls Toronto home.
Musical Mornings begin with a reception at 10 a.m. that includes treats from Cobs Bread and Paradise Coffee; the 75-minute concert follows at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $22 or $15.
