Lessons from a life well-lived: Memories of the late Canadian composer, performer, educator, and writer David Keane.

Lucille Chung, who originally hails from Montreal, is a very fine pianist who hasn’t played here in a long time. It’s been 10 years since she blew me away at a live recital, and I’d love to hear what she’s up to artistically these days. But how can I be tempted to travel all the way up to Richmond Hill’s new arts centre if I don’t know what she is going to perform? If you’re feeling adventurous, you may be rewarded with an evening of fine music in a relatively intimate setting. Details (or lack thereof) here.

Here’s what McGillivray wrote back when I asked him in an email what he is up to with this show:

Weisbrodt spoke of how the festival’s new logo represents the “colourful mosaic” that comes together for  a “total work of art” — and he didn’t hesitate to use Wagner’s term: gesamtkunstwerk.

Candid Microphone, an ABC radio programme from 1947 that migrated to television as Candid Camera in 1948 — created by Allen Funt, who stayed at the heart of his baby until his death in 1992.
