Spring Concert Series 2025
With only a week to go until Christmas, it seems the perfect time to announce our 2025 Spring Concert Series – there may be music lovers in your circle who would absolutely love receive a gift of a LAMP performance in their Christmas stocking this year! It’s important to note that some additional performances will be added to this list (including the next two Bach cycles by Ian Tomaz, as well as performances by some other artists).
We are starting the year off with a bang – Angela Hewitt is coming to LAMP for a few days in March, and one of the things she will do while she is here is perform Bach’s complete Goldberg Variations on the anniversary (to the day) of the first time she ever performed the Goldberg Variations: March 16. As with all of our Sunday performances, she will begin at 2:30pm.
LAMP’s new Artistic Directors, the Verona Quartet, will embark on a six-part concert series featuring all sixteen of Ludwig van Beethoven’s monumental string quartets. The first three performances will be this Spring, on March 23, March 25 and April 13.
Italian-Australian pianist Jonathan Ferrucci has given concerts as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, Australia and the United States. He has performed in Wigmore Hall, Barbican Hall and Milton Court Concert Hall in London, Carnegie Weill Hall in New York and the Fazioli Concert Hall in Italy, among other venues. Coming in part to work with Angela Hewitt, he will perform a solo recital on March 28th.
We will continue the very popular jazz concert series, and this Spring there will be three performances : Saturday March 29th, the Mike Murley Trio featuring Richard White & Tom Easley; Saturday April 26 with E3, featuring Adrean Farrugia, Tom Easley & Mark Adam, and on Saturday 31 May seven of Atlantic Canada’s most in-demand jazz musicians will join together here at LAMP to pay tribute to the music of Charlie Mingus – considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history.
Spring of 2025 bring a return to vocals! Minnesota native Jack Swanson is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after young tenors in the opera world. His distinctive high lyric voice is known for singing the acrobatic arias of Rossini and the legato melodies of Donizetti. Jack will perform bel canto at LAMP on Sunday 27 April, accompanied by Bel Canto Bootcamp leader Rachelle Jonck. Then on May 4, Rachelle will perform with the vocal artists taking part in the Bel Canto Academy.
Canadian flutist Susan Hoeppner will lead a flute academy, and she will perform on Sunday May 25 with the artists taking part in that academy. And the Spring Concert Series will finish as it began - with a bang! Steven Isserlis. As a concerto soloist he appears regularly with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, including the Berlin Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington, London Philharmonic and Zurich Tonhalle orchestras. Steven will perform Beethoven and Fauré accompanied by pianist Roman Rabinovich.
