From pig-farm to the Ballroom. The dog-eat-dog 70’s Ballroom scene was lubricated with huge amounts of alcohol and sex; and budding ballroom professional George Lloyd was there for every second of it. Unfortunately, the late 70’s signals the death knell for Ballroom dancing across the country and many dance schools are struggling. However, the guy who steps up to the plate to save the day is none other than George Lloyd, who helps many dance schools by introducing Disco Dancing to his classes.

The Frédéric Chopin Annik LaFarge presents here is not the melancholy, sickly, romantic figure so often portrayed. The artist she discovered is, instead, a purely independent spirit: an innovator who created a new musical language, an autodidact who became a spiritually generous, trailblazing teacher, a stalwart patriot during a time of revolution and exile. In Chasing Chopin, she follows in his footsteps during the three years, 1837-1840, when he composed “Funeral March” - dum dum da dum - using its composition story to illuminate the key themes of his life.

From pig-farm to the Ballroom. The dog-eat-dog 70’s Ballroom scene was lubricated with huge amounts of alcohol and sex; and budding ballroom professional George Lloyd was there for every second of it. Unfortunately, the late 70’s signals the death knell for Ballroom dancing across the country and many dance schools are struggling. However, the guy who steps up to the plate to save the day is none other than George Lloyd, who helps many dance schools by introducing Disco Dancing to his classes.

The Frédéric Chopin Annik LaFarge presents here is not the melancholy, sickly, romantic figure so often portrayed. The artist she discovered is, instead, a purely independent spirit: an innovator who created a new musical language, an autodidact who became a spiritually generous, trailblazing teacher, a stalwart patriot during a time of revolution and exile. In Chasing Chopin, she follows in his footsteps during the three years, 1837-1840, when he composed “Funeral March” - dum dum da dum - using its composition story to illuminate the key themes of his life.

In the 1940s, it was unheard of for women to be members of a professional orchestra, let alone play “masculine” instruments like the bass or trombone. Yet despite these formidable challenges, the Montreal Women’s Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) became the only all-women orchestra in Canadian history. Formed in 1940, the MWSO became the first orchestra to represent Canada in New York City’s Carnegie Hall. The stories of those musicians are illuminated here, including the life of the incredible Ethel Stark, the co-founder and conductor of the MWSO.
