Stretch Orchestra offers Empty Glasses concert
The Juno award-winning trio, Stretch Orchestra, featuring local guitarist Kevin Breit, cellist Matt Brubeck and drummer-percussionist Jesse Stewart, will bring their blend of jazz, rock, folk and world music to Fergus Grand Theatre on Sept. 21.
The concert is the highlight of Sensational Elora’s Empty Glasses Project.
Each of the three musicians boasts an extensive musical provenance. Breit has played for the likes of Nora Jones and Hugh Laurie. Brubeck’s comfort with many musical styles has allowed him to play with Cheryl Crowe and Yo-Yo Ma. Stewart has also recorded with an impressive list of artists and plays as a solo artist nationally and internationally.
“These veteran musicians are at the top of their game after a full summer of touring and we are really fortunate to have them coming to our stage for this event,” said Sensational Elora chairman Kirk McElwain.
The Empty Glasses Project features local glass artists creating hand-blown and etched glasses for show and sale, benefitting the Centre Wellington Food Bank.
Doors open at 7pm on Sept. 21, with glasses available for purchase, and the concert starts at 8pm. Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the door and are on sale at the theatre, by calling 519-787-1981 or online at www.fergusgrandtheatre.ca.
