Tuckamore Faculty Trio
The Tuckamore Faculty Trio, comprised of the Duo Concertante (violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves) and Vernon Regehr, cello, have played together for almost two decades. This program features a newly discovered masterwork by the mega talent Clara Schumann, a trio by the JUNO award winning Newfoundland composer Bekah Simms, and Dvoraks Dumky trio, one of the most beloved and intensely spirited works for piano, violin and cello. This program, performed by three of the provinces outstanding classical artists, will be certain to move the soul and delight the senses. We hope you will join us across beautiful central and western Newfoundland to hear great music in intimate and unique venues.
The Canadian chamber ensemble Duo Concertante take their name from the inscription over Beethovens Kreutzer sonata, in stilo molto concertante, which implies a relationship of two equal, dynamic voices.
Violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves have performed more than 700 concerts across North America, Europe, Central America and China, receiving accolades at home and abroad for deeply integrated performances that flow naturally as if the music were being created on the spot (Gramophone) filled with grace and fire fury and reposea triumphant mass of non-stop energy (WholeNote).
A native of Winnipeg, cellist Vernon Regehr is an active recitalist, chamber and orchestral musician, conductor, and teacher. Regehr is on faculty at Memorial Universitys School of Music and serves as the musical advisor and conductor of Kittiwake Dance Theatre.
An avid chamber musician and teacher, he has performed numerous commissioned works for national radio broadcast. Regehr served on the performance and teaching faculty of the Kinhaven Music Festival in Vermont for many years, and has taught at numerous other festivals. He has collaborated with Ensemble Made in Canada, the Shanghai, Penderecki, Fitzwilliam, and Lafayette string quartets, Andrew Burashko, Mark Fewer, Suzie Leblanc, and Leon Fleisher. His performance of Carters cello sonata at the Groundswell New Music Festival commemorating Elliott Carters 100th birthday, showed a clear understanding of the work, while handling its hefty technical demands with finesse.
