Pioneering tour-de-force Ensemble Vivant’s innovative genre-diverse classical and jazz programming is rich with passionate, deeply communicative playing that touches the hearts and souls of listeners of all ages. Ensemble Vivant has 15 internationally acclaimed albums heard on radio world-wide. Of Ensemble Vivant’s latest album iFUGUE - A World of Fugues, U.S.A. magazine Fanfare wrote “Smokin… Fugues shouldn’t be this much fun!”, while the American Record Guide wrote “Lively readings of fugues by all sorts of composers. A few are presented in original form, such as Bach’s Prelude; Fugue 9 (WTC I), played beautifully by pianist Catherine Wilson.” Jazz icon Rick Wilkins, C.M. praised it as the “…highest-level chamber music-making. No matter the genre, there is magic in Ensemble Vivant music-making.” The Whole Note stated “Chamber music at its evocative best!” and the Toronto Star described it as “…beautiful, poised performances...capture the passion and verve…Wilson’s piano gives this music unerring drive and plenty of sparkle.” Ensemble Vivant’s invaluable live and virtual programs for under served schools and communities (endorsed by neuroscientists on music and the mind) are conducted through Euterpe (musicisthekey.org). Funding support has been awarded by Ontario Trillium Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts, Levante Foundation, Ross Mitchell Foundation and more. Saturday November 30.
296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
