Welcome to the 2009-10 season

of the Acadia Performing Arts Series! The program opens with the talented trio of Robert Kortgaard, Suzie LeBlanc and Mark Simons and concludes with Ballet Jorgan's Cinderella. Debut Atlantic brings us Joe Trio, and the contemplative music of Sanctuary with the Acadia Vocal Ensemble will help to launch the holiday season. The fantastic St. Lawrence String Quartet will demonstrate why they've earned their reputation for excellence and Symphony Nova Scotia combines with Janina Fialkowska to celebrate Chopin's bicentenary. This year's Tom Regan Concert will be part of the New Music Festival and Chirgilchin from Tuva promises to be a completely unique musical experience. The best way to ensure you don't miss any of these wonderful performances is to order your subscription now!

Joe Trio

Not your average piano trio, Joe Trio strives for

diversity, versatility, and more than a little humour. Their repertoire consists of the classics, from Papa

Haydn to Uncle Shostakovich to new works by

contemporary composers, and their own arrangements of popular, jazz and rock tunes. ³7OHLU SOM\LQJ LV ILUVP-class and their collective sense RI OXPRXU LQGLVSHQVMNOHB´ ± Victoria Times Colonist
