Dear Friends:
Hank Knox is one of Canada's leading early music specialists. For his concert at the intimate Cellar Restaurant & Jazz Club, he breathes new life into rarely-heard keyboard masterworks by some of the most imaginative composers from the seventeenth century: Sweelinck, Storace, Pasquini, and Byrd.
Tickets to hear Hank Knox are available by calling co-producer Early Music Vancouver at 604.732.1610 or by clicking here.
And next week marks a highlight of Music on Main's season: Eve Egoyan plays Simple Lines of Enquiry.

I look forward to seeing you at a concert!
all best,
David Pay, Artistic Director

Heritage Hall
Eve Egoyan
"a performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts."
(National Post)
When pianist Eve Egoyan performs composer Ann Southam's Simple Lines of Enquiry, you'll discover why The New Yorker's Alex Ross wrote that he couldn't stop listening to this "immense, mysterious piano piece."
Written especially for Egoyan, Simple of Lines of Enquiry has captured the imagination of music lovers around the world. Now the celebrated pianist brings this mesmerizing and meditative piece to the intimate Heritage Hall for its Vancouver premiere.
Egoyan is hailed as "a performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts." (National Post) If you've heard her live or on recording, you've been held spellbound by that power.
Composer Ann Southam (1937 - 2010) takes seemingly simple musical material and spools and unspools it into a hypnotic -- and seemingly living -- aural tapestry.
Listening to Simple Lines of Enquiry, it's as if we can hear Southam following and observing her ideas like a scientist watching the behaviour of an unknown organism.
It's a must-hear event for everyone with an ear for quiet adventure.
Presented with the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.
Single Tickets $29. ($15 for students with valid ID)
