FORBIDDEN MUSIC CONCERT IS A SMASH HIT
The London Symphonia String Quartet along with narrator Tom Allen wowed the audience with stories and music from the era of the Holocaust. The story of how the Walter Kaufman's String Quartet No.5, composed in India in 1935, came to London was beautifully told. The complementary tales of the Edwin Schulhoff and Erik Korngold music made a fascinating evening of history and music. The bizarre story of the Third Reich's glorification of Mozart completed the program with the playing of the String Quartet No.21. We thank Joseph Lanza, Andrew Chung and the staff of the London Symphonia who brought this concert to fruition.
We also appreciate the support of Jewish London, the London Free Press and CBC London.

Biographies
SONGS OF LONDON POETRY AND PAINTINGS
Songs of London Poetry and Painting
Composers guitarist Oliver Whitehead and pianist Steve Holowitz have put together a fascinating program of music, poems and paintings in seven sections most of which have a connection to London and South-Western Ontario. Using the poems of Governor General Award winning poet James Reaney, Colleen Thibaudeau, and Emile Nelligan, Whitehead and Holowitz have created a songbook that is inherently Canadian. The Opera in Nine Paintings presents a musical view of local art as imagined by Whitehead and Linda Nicholas using paintings from Museum London. The book Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham is the basis of a song cycle by Holowitz. In addition both Whitehead and Holowitz will each play an original solo composition. They will be joined by well known London musicians, Ingrid Crozman, flute, Patrick Theriault, cello, Sonja Gustafson, soprano, and Adam Iannetta, baritone. Unfortunately cellist Christine Newland will not be able to play this concert and will be replaced by Patrick Theriault.
