For his first concert with the Capilano Festival Chorus, Maestro Kevin Zakresky has chosen the great cantata Ballad of the Brown King, by African-American composer Margaret Bonds (with words by Langston Hughes). This tender work tells the story of the nativity from the point of view of the third king who visited Bethlehem, who was fabled a brown man. A mix of English choral school, jazz and gospel, there is a little something for everyone. To finish the concert: some holiday favourites.

For 17 years, Anna Maria Tremonti hosted CBC Radio One’s The Current, where her mix of hard-edged journalism and hard-won empathy helped build the show into Canada’s most listened-to radio program. She is currently the host of Welcome to Paradise on CBC Podcasts. Her recognizable voice, thoughtful questions, and her approach to finding the humanity in the people one meets, captivate listeners.

Drawing from both her personal experience and the lessons she’s learned through her interviews with others, Tremonti sheds light on pursuing growth and questioning the status quo. This presentation will inspire audiences while also equipping them with the skills needed to assess risk, rationalize fear, find opportunity, carry on through failure, and reimagine success.

When Tonquest Magazine wrote, “another stellar Campilongo record from the fertile mind of Jim Campilongo. How does he do it? Damned if we know,” they were looking at an overview of Campilongo’s 14 solo releases and commenting on his music’s growth and diversity. The Jim Campilongo 4 Tet is another step in this evolution. 

The 4 Tet is driven by long-time Brooklyn collaborators, guitarist Luca Benedetti (Ron Carter, Steve Gadd), bassist Andy Hess (John Scofield, Gov’t Mule) and drummer Dan Reiser (Rosanne Cash, Youn Sun Nah), who all bring their sound and style to create a unique, distilled power. Their chemistry, focus and mutual admiration create a transcendent universe of sounds.

Billboard Magazine calls Jim Campilongo “an American treasure,” an accolade this highly artistic and influential guitarist richly deserves. Also known as a sensitive and refined sideman, Campilongo has played with Norah Jones, Bright Eyes, Martha Wainwright, JJ Cale, Gillian
Welch, Teddy Thompson and Burning Spear to name a few.
