River Run Centre presents Guy and Nadina, as a part of this season’s Meridian Studio Series.
Celebrated internationally as concerto soloists, chamber musicians, recitalists and “fashionistas,” musicians Nadina Mackie Jackson and Guy Few are a musical duo known for their virtuosic playing and unique concert presence.
Mackie Jackson is one of the world’s leading bassoonists. With 11 critically acclaimed solo and chamber album recordings to her credit, she tours and records worldwide on both modern and historical bassoons.
Few, a virtuoso trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist, is in high demand as a soloist throughout Canada and the U.S.
Since 2005, this musical duo has released three successful studio albums and received commissions to produce a symphony and several new concerti.
While they are heard regularly on CBC, it is their live shows that best demonstrate their unique approach to expanding the traditions and boundaries of classical concerts.
They also collaborate as teachers and musical directors. Together, they provided artistic direction for the Grand River Baroque Festival for two successful seasons in 2008 and 2009, and their educational stage show for children titled Buzz and Crow premiered at the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival in August 2010.
The River Run concert is part of their cross-Canada tour to perform a new program titled Carnets de Voyages (The Travel Book) which features the duo’s favourite music, along with personal stories about being touring musicians.
The performance takes place at the River Run Centre on Feb. 11 at 8pm.
Tickets are available online at www.riverrun.ca.
As part of RiverRuns uGO program, university and college students may purchase tickets for only $20 each.
Through eyeGO, high school students may attend for $5 each.
