MUSIC FOR BANA

On the strength of Barry's recommendation, I went to the music for bana concert last night. The concert began with young Mairi Keen singing A whole new world and it finished with her mother, Julie singing River. Their renditions of these two songs were quite outstanding. One of the surprises for me was that throughout the night there wasn't one weak performance. Acapella singing from Incahoots, Romanian and Hungarian tunes on the violin from Simon Evans, Drumming from Bear Roots and a stirring set of tunes from Maureen Burnett on violin and Lorna MacDougall on cello.. If we didn't already know, we also discovered that Peter Donald at Crown Church is a great pianist. All in all, it was a wonderful evening of live music with a crowd of about 150 present. Julie Keen's singing of Papa can you hear me? and Maureen Burnett's Czardas were personal favourites in the midst of many highlights. Thank you to Jeremy and Julie Keen for putting together such an outstanding event.
