Programs
Sunday, January 15, 2012 - Island Church - Brunch: 12:45 - Concert: 2:00
Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations: In 1823, publisher and dilettante composer Anton Diabelli invited leading composers to each write a variation on a waltz he had written. Among the 50 takers were Franz Schubert, W.A. Mozart Jr., Karl Czerny, an 11-year-old Franz Liszt. Beethoven would have none of this - instead of a variation, he wrote 33, creating what many believe to be his greatest solo piano work. Vadim Serebryany, of Trio Plus fame, is the pianist.
Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012 - Island Church - Brunch: 12:45 - Concert: 2:00
Selene Group: Once again, the Selene Group brings a wonderful variety of 20th century sounds to the Island Church. Programme includes works for string quartet, winds, and voice by Hindemith, Dallapiccola, Krenek, Westcott, and a world premiere of a work by Canadian composer Walter Buczynski. Featuring vocalists Rachel Krehm and Catherine Carew and an all-star cast of wind and string players.
Sunday, March 4, 2012- Island Church - Brunch: 12:45 - Concert: 2:00
Songs of Love and Loss: Two years ago, baritone Nick Laroche brought tears to many eyes (for the right reasons) with his stunning performance of Schubert’s Die Schoene Muellerin. Nick is back with more sad songs, this time, by Faure, Alvarez, Granados, Vaughn-Williams, and American composer Joel Weiss. Accompanied by Coby Stoller, piano.
Sunday, April 15, 2012 - Island Church - Brunch: 12:45 - Concert: 2:00
Folk Influences: Folk tunes made cameo appearances in many works throughout the classical and romantic eras, but some composers, such as Antonin Dvorak, took the idea further by constructing entire works based on folk melodies. In this traditional Canzona-style concert, we’ll explore some of these works. With Daniel Kushner, violin, Jacquey Malcolm, ‘cello, Jonathan Krehm, clarinet, and Coby Stoller, piano.
Sunday, May 6, 2012- Island Church - Brunch: 12:45 - Concert: 2:00
Trio Plus is Back - Again!: The special tradition happily continues. This group is simply phenomenal, not just because of their high level of professionalism, but because of the passion and joy that they bring to the musicS. A “don’t miss” event! Programme TBA. Featuring Vadim Serebryany, Piano, Wolfram Koessel, 'Cello, and Yosuke Kawasaki, Violin.

Now Canzona in the City
Dear Canzona Fans,
Your Canzona team is breaking new ground, and will be offering some concerts in the city in addition to our island series. Our city venue is the beautiful St. Simon the Apostle Church at 525 Bloor St. East, just east of Sherbourne.
Our opening Canzona in the City concert features internationally-acclaimed concert pianist Vadim Serebryany, of Trio Plus fame, performing Bach's Goldberg Variations. Tickets are $20, and the date is January 14, 2012 at 7:30 PM.
As previously announced, Vadim is opening our Canzona island series with a performance of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. As usual, this will take place at St. Andrew by-the-Lake, with our usual starting time of 2:00, preceded by brunch at 12:45.
Here's the special deal. All ticket holders for the island opener get into the city opener for half price - that's right - $10.
If you're not coming to the Beethoven, you can still come hear the Bach at the regular city price of $20.
For reservations, please contact Lorraine Filyer – 416-203-0791 - lorraine5thst@rogers.com
