Joe Trio playing in Oliver
The always popular Joe Trio, known as the “Court Jesters of the Classical” will be returning to Oliver on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. concert.
This is the last of this season’s performances presented by the South Okanagan Concert Society and will bring some totally engaging musical merriment to the Venables stage.
The Trio with its violin-cellopiano virtuosity, combines the wit, charm and talent of three musicians who together collaborated just a few years ago with the late CBC storyteller Stuart McLean on fun-filled tours with the Vinyl Cafe.
Pianist Cameron Wilson’s compositions and arrangements have been performed by numerous symphony orchestras and ensembles across North America. In addition to Joe Trio, he plays in a gypsy jazz quarter, the Hard Rubber Orchestra, a Francophone inspired trio called Pastiche and the Mariachi Del Sol and Tambura Rasa.
Cellist Charles Inkman’s career has included playing backup for visiting artists such as John Denver and Brian Wilson in addition to playing with a symphony orchestra and teaching on the faculty of the VSO School of Music.
Pianist Allen Stiles holds a master’s degree in piano performance from UBC and has played for musicals and operas as well as chamber ensembles. He teaches at a number of Vancouver-area schools of music and thrives as a freelance pianist.
Single tickets in advance are $23 at the theatre box office or online at www.venablestheatre.ca or at the door for $25.
