SUMMARY:Michael Kaeshammer Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents: Michael Kaeshammer\nThursday\, March 27\, 2025\nDoors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nMichael Kaeshammer isn’t so much a piano player as a piano whisperer\, a master musician and songwriter able to coax dazzling\, kaleidoscopic sounds from his instrument in a way few can rival. That gift powers Turn It Up\, Kaeshammer’s superb 15th album\, broadly described as “eclectic yet accessible jazz-based pop” though\, as with all Kaeshammer’s music\, far more expansive than one simple description can possibly illustrate. \nAcross a brilliant\, globe-trotting career highlighted by nine tours of China\, three appearances at the Olympics\, and countless shows opposite international superstars\, the German-born\, B.C.-based Kaeshammer has electrified audiences with his indelible repertoire and consistently positive outlook on life which infuses his lyrics. “I am a very positive person\,” confirms the seven-time JUNO Award nominee and unabashed foodie\, who hosts cooking show Kaeshammer’s Kitchen on Vancouver Island’s CHEK TV. “I really love playing shows and being on-stage. If Turn It Up helps me to do more of that\, then I’m all in. Music is my favourite thing to do.”

SUMMARY:Tower Of Song: A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Tower Of Song: A Creative Tribute To Leonard Cohen\nFeaturing Oliver Swain & Glenna Garramone with special guest Daniel Lapp\nSaturday\, March 22\nDoors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm \nWhen Leonard Cohen sang these words\, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters\, each toiling away on their own\, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept\, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter.  Reimagining both rare and classic works of Cohen\, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience. \nTower of Song began as a one-off tribute night for a packed house at Vancouver’s The Media Club\, and has since grown into a nationally touring folk duo.  Produced by Garramone\, she invited fellow Victoria musician (Juno nominated) Oliver Swain\, and the show gave Swain and Garramone the chance to grow their musical chemistry. Together as Tower of Song the two have arranged some of Cohen’s timeless songs beautifully\, for two voices\, string bass\, piano\, guitar and banjo.

SUMMARY:JS Bach Long Walk in The Snow Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presents: JS Bach Long Walk in the Snow\nSunday\, March 9th\nDoors 1:30pm Show 2:00pm \nSingle Ticket $47.00 \nJohann Sebastian Bach is usually seen as the wise\, old man of Western Music\, but he didn’t begin his working life that way.  At 18\, and in his first job as an organist\, still barely beginning life as a composer but already a spectacular performer\, the young genius got into such trouble that the only thing he could do was to walk away. JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow takes you along on that trip: a 400 km odyssey to a glittering northern port city with street fights\, big business\, insight\, fulfillment\, the father figure he didn’t know he needed and\, quite possibly\, love. \n“Classical” Spring 2025: Join us this spring 2025 for a curated collection of three performances that showcase the diversity of classical music\, some even pressing on the boundaries of what we might think of as classical.
