Glen Montgomery, piano
Asani
Join the LSO as we explore Shining Mountains, a piece by celebrated Canadian composer Howard Cable depicting three significant geographical and historical places in Southern Alberta: Waterton, Stand Off and The Crowsnest Trail. Glen Montgomery will performs Tchaikovsky’s best known piano concerto.
Asani will also join us on this program, performing 4 selections from their repertoire with the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra.
Asani (“rock” in the Cree language), a contemporary Aboriginal women’s a cappella trio from Edmonton, has been captivating audiences with their breathtaking harmonies, their dynamic vocal artistry and their powerful rhythmic style. Carrying with them the traditional influences of First Nations and Metis music accompanied by drums and rattles, their songs resonate with their own blend of traditional vocals infused with the sounds of jazz, folk and blues.
Asani performs frequently in Canada as well as around the world, and has composed and performed musical soundtracks for documentaries, film and television.
