Concert Snapshots

  • Light the Night is a concert piece created by a group of Canadian women artists.

  • Catherine Varvaro, who created this work, is also an orchestral timpanist and percussionist.

  • Pauline Stive worked with Catherine to illustrate each musical phrase and create a story that matches the emotional flow of the music.

  • Kelly-Marie Murphy arranged the lieder (songs) by Alma to match the instruments in Symphony No.5, bringing all the parts together into one piece.
