Extractions: at the monastery ruins in St. Norbert, Manitoba. 204-269-0564 2 March 1999 Winnipeg This weekend on Saturday, March 13th, a new exhibit and performance series opens at the St. Norbert Arts and Cultural Centre (SNACC). True to form, Toronto artist John Scott has produced a gritty display of sinister imagery for this new drawing installation. Scott's ominous figures loom large along the walls and across the ceiling, transforming a usually bright and airy room into a place of menace and dark foreboding. Designed specifically for SNACC, Scott's Rorschach Attack (pronounced "roar-shack") sets the stage and tone for an eclectic mix of Winnipeg performing artists In the Lounge Andrew Hunter, SNACC's new Artistic Director, wants to do something with an edge that will make a bold statement about SNACC. Says Hunter, "This program expresses my artistic vision it is multidisciplinary and eclectic but it also has a thematic focus. John Scott's imagery gave me a focus and the selection of artists who will perform in his installation reflect different aspects of Scott's art. Scott's vision of the world is a dark one. It has a gritty street sensibility, but it is also imbued with confidence and compassion. I want to be clear about something. This isn't meant to be a "tight fit" the combination of art and performer are loose and spontaneous, like Scott's work. It's like being in a laboratory you throw things together and see what happens, sometimes the result is volatile and sometimes it fizzes."

Richard Raymond Born in 1965 in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Richard Raymond's superior talent rapidly brought him to the fore of young Canadian concert pianists. He earned national renown in 1990 when he won First Prize in the 18-25-year-old category of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Competition, as well as First Prize in the Canadian International Stepping Stone Competition. The following year he won the Grand Prize, First Prize and the Prize for the best performance of a Canadian work in the CBC Radio's National Competition for Young Performers . In 1993, he was the first Canadian to receive the Chamber Music Prize in the prestigious Van Cliburn Competition, and in 1998, he took Second Prize in the William Kapell International Piano Competition.

Extractions: "...the Canadian Winds, whose debut at a sold-out Glenn Gould Studio under the embrella of the Amici Chamber Ensemble, was impressive. In Nielsen's Quintet, both horn and bassoon achieved moments of extreme mellowness within rainbows of tonal colour..... the quintet showed manifest discipline and a well-integrated approach.... their treatment of the third movement was authoritative, with solid technique..... In the Mozart Quintet, with Patricia Parr's piano replacing flute, there was much flowing finesse...... an elegantly structured Larghetto. The opening work was Bach's Sonata in G Major with Parr and cellist David Hetherington in delightful form, the busy demands on piano well met and Hetherington caressing his instrument beautifully in the Andante...... a clear case of players creating the exact state of equilibrium that the best Bach warrants, and ornamenting it with feelingere."

Vancouver Recital Society | Press | Reviews The Skampa Quartet, young players from the Czech Republic, were right at homeaswas Canadian violinist scott St. john, filling in on second violain http://www.vanrecital.com/press/vs120999.html
Extractions: SUN MUSIC CRITIC Of course not all parties go just as planned. There were supposed to be 12 musicians to fete Leila Getz on the combination of her birthday and the 20th anniversary of the Vancouver Recital Society Tuesday at the Chan. But the Borromeo String Quartet of Boston couldn't come when a violinist got chicken pox, and the organizers (still trying to keep Getz in the dark about the players) suddenly had to find, and did, a fill-in fiddler and cellist to make up a quartet with musicians already on hand. So there were 10, not 12, and it didn't matter. They represented a small, eloquent fraction of the hundreds of internationally proven and eminently promising talents that Getz has imported for the last 20 years. Some who couldn't make it in person conveyed their congratulations by video: Cecilia Bartoli, chatty and merry; a dignified, sincere Evgeny Kissin; Bryn Terfel at home in windswept Wales, serenading her with his booming baritone; Yefim Bronfman conveying like sentiments around a mouthful of sushi, then beginning Tchaikovsky's
