This concert is highlighted by the virtuosity of rising classical music stars Kimball Gallagher (piano), Andrew Parker (English horn), Crystal Zagarello (flute) and trumpeter Christopher Coletti, newest member of Canadian Brass. Also featured is visual artist Xéna Lee (Artist World 2009/10 Visual-Artist-in-Residence), whose newly created works (specifically created for this concert) are on display on the stage as part of Ensemble du Monde’s Art-meets-Music Project.
