About the event
Caitlin Broms-Jacobs (oboe) and Madeline Hildebrand (piano) are passionate performers who believe in the power that music has in connecting with a wide range of audiences. In addition to masterful performance, they communicate through stories, anecdotes, and detailed introductions to the pieces they perform. Fierbois presents a remarkable tribute to the Canadian landscape and all those who inhabit it.
The selections portray the rolling pine-covered Laurentians of Quebec, the sway of wheat fields in the Prairie provinces, and the imposing Rockies, land of the misty giants. At the heart of their concert program is Oscar Peterson’s jazz-infused Canadiana Suite, a musical exploration of the True North. Also on the program: The Bird Fancyer’s New Delight (David Braid), Halcyon (Jocelyn Morlock), The Lark Ascending (Vaughan Williams), Sonata (Charles Koechlin), Sonata K.454 (Mozart) and Brahm’s piano solo Intermezzo op. 76 no. 6.
