The Amicus Music Duo presents
A Nutcracker Christmas
Thursday, December 17, 2009 at 7:30 pm
|
The Amicus Music Duo invites you to join them for "A Nutcracker Christmas".
I remember many Christmas eves with my family. It is late and the lights are dimmed. The house is decorated, polished brass and silver gleams, and many candles are lit. Everything glitters and glows and the aromas of pine and cedar fill the room. Then my parents play beautiful and peaceful Christmas carols on the stereo. The magic of that annual experience remains with me powerfully still.
Even many of those who are not classical music afficianados have heard Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker. On December 17, the Amicus Music Duo will be creating a festive and atmospheric musical evening. Excerpts from the Nutcracker Ballet will be a central feature. Round that out with some traditional Christmas arrangements, some light jazz arrangements and of course our trademark improvisations - this time on Christmas Carols.
What's the twist? Well, as always, improvisation is a twist - at least it is in the context of a "Classical" music event.
The second twist is dialogue. Howard and I are committed to our audience leaving with an enriched understanding and experience of music. Dialogue, in which the listener gets to contribute and ask questions is the best way to create that.
The third twist is the location. This musical occasion will take place in St. Andrew's-Wesley Church's Narthex. The Narthex is a small intimate space and we take care to create a living-room-like environment. The bonus, is that despite having just room for 30 - 35 people, we get the great reverberant acoustics that you expect from a great old church.
Believe me, that all adds up to an experience of the music that is quite different than listening passively. Come and see and listen for yourself.

The Amicus Music Duo
The Amicus Music Duo creates and delivers Musical Occasions designed to foster Connections:
- personal connections for each listener with music.
- connections between the listener, the composer and the musician.
We foster these connections in new and fresh ways that express what music is for us, and who the audience is:
- Creative and thoughtful: our selection of music is both well researched and well loved.
- Unique and intimate: our performance spaces are as familiar as your home, as comfortable as your favourite armchair; we select environments that evoke the ease and simple beauty of music while removing any sense of the 'untouchable' or 'unapproachable'.
- Engaging and inclusive: new ways of thinking about music are suggested, and stories of universal appeal inspire this much-sought after connection between listener, music, musician and composer.
- Welcoming and beautiful: new listeners - who might be daunted by the prospect of attending a mainly classical concert - and music enthusiasts alike are invited to settle in for an enjoyable and dazzling music event.
