  Concert in the Harbour with Tuckamore Chamber Group

  7:30 pm $20
  
  This will be a special evening at the Arts Centre. Will a baby grand piano fit through the door, we were asked??
  
  You won't want to miss hearing this first ever concert of classical music in our lovely old restored church, as the Tuckamore Chamber group fill the room with chamber music on their pre-festival tour.
  
  
  Duo Concertante (Nancy Dahn, violin and Timothy Steeves, piano) and Tuckamore Festival alumnus, pianist Timothy Brennan, will present a recital of chamber music on Saturday, August 2 at 7:30 pm at the English Harbour Arts Centre. It will be a delightful evening of solo and chamber music by Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Grieg, and Scriabin.
  
  Duo Concertante maintain a busy touring schedule, with frequent performances across North America, as well as in Europe and China. They have appeared at Wigmore Hall (London), Carnegie Halls Weill Recital Hall (New York City), Old First Church (San Francisco), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles), Roy Thomson Hall and the Four Seasons Performing Arts Centre (Toronto), the National Arts Centre (Ottawa), the Forbidden City Concert Hall (Beijing), and the Chapelle du Bon-Pasteur (Montreal). Based at Memorial University in St. Johns, Dahn and Steeves are energetic, experienced teachers who have given hundreds of master classes and workshops across Canada, in the US, and in China. Their commitment to working with young musicians gave rise to the annual Tuckamore Chamber Music Festival, which they founded in 2000 to bring together young chamber music performers with world-class artists and ensembles for an intensive two weeks of learning and performance.
  
  
  
  Timothy Brennan is entering his fourth year as a Piano Performance major and composition minor at Memorial Universitys School of Music and studies with Timothy Steeves. He is on the Deans List and holds the Dr. David and Dorothy Peters Scholarship in Music. Timothy holds an
  Associate Performance Diploma (A.R.C.T.) in Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music. He is a past winner of the Senior Instrumental Rose Bowl at the St. Johns Kiwanis Music Festival and the piano division at the NL Provincial Music Festival. In July 2013, Timothy received the Dorothy Buckley Prize for the Best Performance of a Canadian Composition at the CFMTA National Piano Competition in Halifax, NS. He has participated in the Piano Master Class at the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Orford Arts Centres Piano Master Class, and New York Universitys Summer Piano Intensive where he had the privilege to
  perform in Steinway Hall. This summer, he will be attending the Art of the Piano Summer Program at the University of Cincinnatis College Conservatory of Music and the International Piano Festival at the University of Florida. Timothy is thrilled to be performing with Duo Concertante in the Tuckamore Festivals Outreach Concerts in August and is looking forward to returning as a Young Artist in this years festival.
