OnStage: CBC’s Tom Allen: A Poe Cabaret
Experience orchestral music from a unique perspective with this immersive OnStage concert, where audiences are invited to sit directly on stage alongside the musicians. Narrated by acclaimed CBC broadcaster Tom Allen, the program explores mystery, imagination, and storytelling through music, featuring Edgar Allan Poe-inspired works alongside evocative compositions by Debussy, Caplet, and Canadian composer Alexina Louie. The intimate setting creates a rare opportunity for audiences to experience the emotion, atmosphere, and artistry of live performance from within the orchestra itself.
Blending haunting narration, rich orchestral textures, and contemporary Canadian composition, the evening offers a distinctive concert experience unlike a traditional symphony performance. Guests will also enjoy a complimentary cocktail as part of the event, creating a welcoming and engaging atmosphere that combines music, conversation, and culture in an unforgettable setting.
