It is with great regret that we inform you that our May 9 2014 concert artist, the distinguished organist Massimo Nosetti, passed away in Italy on November 12 at age 53, having been diagnosed with cancer in October.

We will present a concert on May 9 as planned, but have invited three young local organists: Michael Dirk, Michael Molnar and David Poon.  Their concert’s theme is “French Triptych”: three organists playing 19th- and 20th-century French works by Alain, Boëllmann, Dubois, Duruflé, Gigout, Guilmant, Saint-Saëns and Widor.

This programme will be repeated on May 17 at 8:00 pm at the Delta Community Music School (4705 Arthur Drive, Delta)

The program celebrates fantasy and creativity and features music by Bach, Buxtehude, Biber, Gabrielli, and Clerambault. It includes musical animal caricatures, a 300 year old high school graduation present, and a cantata marvelous enough to capture the imagination of Pluto, god of the underworld. Audience members will have a chance to join the creative fun, inventing stories to accompany one of the musical selections. Curious listeners of all ages are most welcome to attend.

The concert performers all specialize in performing early music.
Soprano Jane Long has a Master’s Degree from Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, England. She is now based in Vancouver, and performs with Early Music Vancouver, musica intima, and others.
Arthur Neele plays the Baroque violin. He is currently a member of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra and regularly appears with Early Music Vancouver’s Festival Orchestra and Cantata Players.
Cellist Marina Hasselberg’s musical interests extend from Baroque music on historical instruments to newly commissioned works that she performs with her group, the NOVO Ensemble.
RCCO Vancouver Centre member Christina Hutten has studied and performed on the organ and harpsichord in North America and Europe.  She is now studying musicology at the University of British Columbia.

Festive sacred music performed by the Cathedral’s own musicians: organist Denis Bédard and the Cathedral Choir, assistant organist Catherine Walsh and the Holy Rosary Women’s Choir, the Contemporary Choir with director Chito Lacsina, and the Spanish Mass Choir with director Ricardo Chaparro-Pacheco.

Mark your calendars!  More details to follow soon.

Works by Bach, Pachelbel, Bedard and others (more details to follow).  Denis Bedard’s solo organ recital will be preceded (at 7::30 pm) by 15 minutes of a cappella works sung by the highly regarded St. Patrick’s High School Chamber Choir under the direction of Tony Araujo.

Denis Bédard has been organist and music director at Holy Rosary Cathedral in Vancouver since 2001. He has given recitals across Canada, in the United States, in France and in Brazil and pursues an international career as a composer. His compositions include chamber music, orchestral and vocal music and many organ works.  He has received commissions from Radio-Canada, the CBC, the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, the RCCO, the RSCM, Monaco Cathedral, and various professional ensembles and musicians in North America and Europe.  His works are performed throughout North America and Europe, as well as in Asia, South Africa, Australia and South America, and many have been recorded on CD.  His music, essentially tonal and melodic, is characterized by a concern for formal clarity and immediate communication with as vast a public as possible.

This recital follows a Reflections In Music service (7pm-745) so early arrivals are asked to enter discretely. Thank you.
