J.S. Bach Trio Sonata (excerpt)

Hired in for a recent event down on groovy Queen Street West, my trio took the stage after Air Heart had played some trip-hop during cocktails. Here is our classical response to their amazing house music that we played as guests sat down for dinner in The Great Hall. It was an exceptional evening, especially from the musicians perspective, with a full sound system and dramatic lighting – once we were through playing, I got Max to haul out his violin so that I could grab this quick snap! Go figure that on the one night where we might finally have a chance to try a trip-hop version of Bach or Haydn that my batteries would be practically dead!

So here’s some Bachis Interruptis for you, with my batteries dying on me as we hit the first development section. I’ll let you know if there are any plans for combining classical music with trip-hop coming to a warehouse near you anytime soon!

In the meantime, come and enjoy the Urban Flute Ensemble on Wednesday, December 9th at St. Anne’s Church, just north of Dundas and east of Dufferin at 270 Gladstone Avenue. These monthly concerts begin at 7.30 p.m. and admission is by donation with proceeds going to the St. Anne’s restoration campaign.

This unique church is a real historic treasure with superb acoustics, so you are invited to come and discover St. Anne’s for yourself…and we promise not to interrupt the Bach on you!!
