Welcome to the 23rd Season of the Vetta Chamber Music and Recital Society.
As Artistic Director, I feel honoured and
privileged to be able to bring great music
and musicians straight from my heart to
yours. This year Vetta has gone for broke
with a veritable smorgasbord of topnotch
guest artists! Of course, Eugene Osadchy,
Artistic Advisor, will be back to woo the
audience with his dulcet tones, as well the
familiar faces of Linda Lee Thomas, Lorna
McGhee, François Houle, David Harding,
Yariv Aloni and Zoltan
Rozsnyai. Jennie
Press, violinist with the VSO, will make her
Vetta debut this season, as will Katinka
Kleijn, a cellist friend of mine from Chicago.
I am also pleased to introduce Kenneth
Broadway, pianist, to our discriminating
audience. For our spring program (It’s a
surprise!), we have an extra special guest,
author Bill Richardson. For our final concert,
we have a double homecoming of local talent;
concertmaster of Winnipeg Symphony
Gwen Hoebig, and live from New York,
Ian Parker! I hope you will also enjoy the
repertoire, which includes many of my
favourites such as Brahms’ Trio Opus 8, the boisterous Dvorák Piano Quintet, and the
Kodály Duo. With such an exciting line-up
of guest artists, and such amazing music to
play, I can hardly wait for the season to begin.
Cheers to Music!
