8:00PM CONCERT
7:15PM PRE-CONCERT MUSICAL INSIGHTS WITH ALEXINA LOUIE & GUESTS

A big band made up of Toronto’s hottest jazz musicians joins Esprit, the Elmer Iseler Singers and three conductors in TRIO, a 50-minute spectacle centred around a large video screen on which are projected remixed, newly digitalized clips of historic footage from the early decades of television and film.

The video creates the feeling of musical communication between the live ensembles and their colleagues from the past.

TRIO is a game of identity, style and time celebrating the three traditional musical pillars of the major European radio/tv stations. The music freely moves around and skips back and forth in time with Esprit’s live musicians and guest artists in an interplay with documentary clips of concerts or rehearsals of symphony orchestras, big bands, choirs, visiting ensembles and guest conductors.
