About the event
WMC is thrilled to present Tom Allen in a performance of J.S. Bach's Long Walk in the Snow. CBC listeners know Tom Allen as the host of About Time, heard weekday afternoons on Radio Two. Since 2010, in collaboration with his life partner Lori Gemmell (harpist), Allen has been creating "chamber musicals" that mix storytelling, history and music. J.S. Bach's Long Walk in the Snow has enjoyed performances from B.C. to Nfld, and wherever they go, Tom and Lori team up with top local musicians. In Winnipeg, they'll be joined by singer Catherine Wreford, Karl Stobbe on violin, and Madeline Hildebrand on piano. Read more about this powerhouse troupe here, and come join the journey!
