Ottawa Chamberfest | J.S. Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow: Tom Allen & Friends

Chamberfest welcomes CBC’s Tom Allen and friends to the stage for “JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow,” a narrated performance accompanied by music. About the show, Allan writes that it “…is a coming-of-age-story about a hot-headed, small-town orphan who narrowly avoided committing murder, turned his back on a perfectly good job and walked 400 kilometres north to find love, fulfilment, and the father figure he didn’t know he needed.” The 20-year old’s trek to the sophisticated port city of Lubeck was a four-month odyssey, a memorable coming-of-age trip that musical storyteller Tom Allen takes you along for a tale of sword fights, big business, and a glittering Christmas romance. Enjoy the journey with the brilliant musicianship of harpist Lori Gemmell, violinist Mark Fewer, bassist and gambist Joe Phillips, and virtuoso vocalist Suba Sankaran.
