SERENATA MUSIC CONTINUES ITS COLLABORATION WITH LONDON SYMPHONIA AND THE DON WRIGHT FACULTY OF MUSIC.
We want to remind you that Serenata Music is still active in promoting good music for London and district audiences. Since the COVID epidemic we have reduced our efforts to produce regular chamber music concerts and concentrated on supporting outstanding guest artists with the London Symphonia and the Don Wright Faculty of Music. The concerts with Stewart Goodyear, James Ehnes, Janina Fialkowsaka, and Forbidden Music as well as the Musicians from Marlboro were all great successes.
We continue with two concerts at the Metropolitan United Church in 2025. On February 1, Rei Hotoda will conduct the London Symphonia in A New Moon Celebration featuring Scott St. John, violin and Lina Cao, gusheng. On April 5 Tania Miller will conduct the London Symphonia with guest violinist Kerson Leong in a performance of the Beethoven violin concerto.
The Musicians from Marlboro will return on February 14 to the von Kuster Hall, Western, for their third appearance under our sponsorship.
We look forward to seeing you soon. We encourage you to tell your friends to follow us at serenatamusic.com where we list all the interesting musical events in the London area for 2024-25. They can receive our email notices if they send us a note to serenatamusic@gmail.com or call us at 519-433 8332.

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.
