THE TWO WIDOWS
Presented by Camrose Arts Council & OperaVision Sunday, January 19, 2:00 pm. Admission to this event is free. Donations are gratefully accepted. |
The calm and peaceful lives of two young widows - cousins Karolina and Anežka, who live together on a countryside estate - is suddenly stirred up by an unexpected visitor. It becomes obvious that the mysterious poacher, who suddenly appears in the estate’s forest, is not out hunting for a doe but rather pining for one of them.
At the beginning of the 1870s, Smetana faced a rising number of challenges to his position of artistic director of Prague’s opera ensemble. From this tense and pressured period for the composer sprang a work of immense creative grace. He seems to delight in evoking a world of people of refined manners, fine culture and the gentle atmosphere of a rural estate. Perhaps it was a relief from life's difficulties and an escape from everyday dullness - a kind of summer fairy tale with a happy end. With The Two Widows, Smetana created a unique style of conversational opera, which Richard Strauss considered one of the best operas of 19th century. As an integral part of the Smetana Opera Cycle Ostrava 2024, the production was staged by Slovenian director and scenographer Rocc, who offers a rare non-Czech point of view on this lesser-known gem of the operatic repertoire. |

Moulettes have had support from many different quarters, garnering praise & appreciation in the parallel worlds of Folk, Prog and Indie. As champions of detailed, original music & sharp songwriting, they have earned their accolades. As they reinvent and reimagine themselves at every stage with a revolving cast of exceptional musicians, Moulettes music is always distinctively recognisable. Causing a sensation on their coast to coast Festival tour of Canada, they were an instant hit on the Quebec Progressive scene, most memorably playing an electrifying outdoor show at the Montreal Jazz Festival, and were named “the best thing at Winnipeg Folk Festival” by CBC’s Tom Power. Following up on their October 2024 tour across Nova Scotia, Quebec & Ontario, Moulettes return to launch their newest creation; ‘Xenolalia’, A multimedia artbook & a groundbreaking experiment in collaboration & composition. It takes the reader on a journey through the Moultiverse, linking to 55 pieces of music via QR code, alongside lyrics, interviews & stories that illuminate the songs contained within. Moulettes offer something entirely unique & musically kaleidoscopic - Cello, Viola, Violin, Percussion, Synthesizers & 5 part harmony vocals in playfully eclectic symbiosis. Often performing ‘in the round’ where possible, audiences tangibly feel their instinctive communication with each other & the sheer joy of playing as an ensemble. |

DAVID FRANCEY
Presented by The Bailey Theatre Society Friday, April 25, 7:00 pm. Tickets $40 |
David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, who has become known as “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star). Born in Ayrshire, Scotland to parents who were factory workers, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades, he worked across Canada in rail yards, construction sites, and in the Yukon bush, all the while writing poetry, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked.
A truly authentic folk singer, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s, his wife, artist Beth Girdler, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada. Since then, David has released thirteen albums, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band, The Rankin Family, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer. |

Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they’ve ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating over 40 years of success.
The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70’s, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80’s, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the ’70’s pop music culture of L.A. The brothers first official gig was in 1968, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida. They honed their early skills playing Black clubs throughout the south, and singing backup for artists such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and Little Anthony & The Imperials. Within a few months, the brothers moved north, immersing themselves and their rock/country sound in the Atlanta market, where the Allman Brothers were the emerging kings of the music world. |
