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 Karl Stobbe on violin, Monica Huisman as soprano, and Madeline Hildebrand on piano. Tickets at J.S. Bach's Long Walk in the Snow | Wmcwpg
The Story:
Johann Sebastian Bach is usually seen as the wise, old man of Western Music, but he didn’t begin his working life that way. At 18, and in his first job as an organist, still barely beginning life as a composer but already a spectacular performer, the young genius got into such trouble that the only thing he could do was to walk away. With glorious music from Tom, Lori and a cast of brilliant musical friends, JS Bach’s Long Walk in the Snow takes you along on that trip to bring that troubled young man in from the cold.
