Next DOMS concert – BACH’S SINFONIAS (Oct 5) 000000000000000

J. S. Bach’s rarely played Fifteen keyboard Sinfonias (three-part Inventions) interpreted on the piano by DOMS Artistic Director, Roland Graham

Described as “a rare and courageous talent” (North-ern Life), Pandora Topp has worked with some of Canada’s foremost artists including Margaret Atwood, Cree playwright and composer Tomson Highway, Michael Bublé, film-maker Ron Mann, clown John Turner of Mump & Smoot fame, com-poser Richard Mascall, the Juno-nominated Silver Birch String Quartet, Debajehmuhjig Storytellers, playwrights Yvette Nolan and Mansel Robinson, director and radio producer Bill Lane and poet Robert Dickson. Her raw, heartfelt interpretation of Piaf’s repertoire has been featured on CBC Radio,

France’s TV5, at the National Arts Centre of Ottawa, and at the Francophone World Summit. Since 2014, Pandora has been a recurring soloist with the Toronto Concert Orchestra under Maestro Kerry Stratton, performing at the historic Casa Loma, and in 2015 she received the prestigious Jackie Washington Award for her distinguished contribution to Northern Ontario's cultural life. One of the busiest players in Toronto, pianist Danny McErlain brings craftsmanship, versatility and a sensitive touch to every setting, whether an intimate house party or the stage of Carnegie Hall. Choosing to serve the song and the occasion has won him favour in many circles – jazz, classical and theatre. Musicians praise his adaptability and extensive repertoire, singers his accompaniment for its elegance and nuance. A musical director and arranger, Danny conducts two Toronto area choirs, the Queen’s Park Civil Service Choir and The Ambiance Singers, and provides rehearsal piano and accompaniment for a wide range of artists. He is a frequent choice for private and corporate events, playing solo, in a duo or trio, or as part of a small ensemble. Danny studied jazz at Humber College and is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music.
