Cellist

Viola da Gamba Player

Saskatoon’s own Alexa Haynes-Pilon has quickly established herself in the early music scene and is known for her brilliance on baroque cello, viola de gamba, and even baroque bassoon. She returns home to the prairies to lead your orchestra with her cello in a program of early music that gives us a glimpse into concert halls of the 17th century. It’s a chance to be immersed in some truly timeless classics.

The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist

Recline on your chaise longue and enjoy luscious musical bonbons as a member of the French bourgeoisie would! This program, by local favorites Musica Pacifica (joined by divine soprano Sherezade Panthaki), brings you a full feast of music such as would have been enjoyed in a typical Parisian salon of the time: colorful suites and sonatas by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Jean-Marie Leclair, one of Georg Philipp Telemann’s beloved “Paris” quartets, and gorgeous vocal music from Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Frideric Handel, and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault.
