The Missing Pages – Tom Allen @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Apr 26 @ 7:30 pm

Tom Allen is bringing his “Chamber Musicals” back to Atlantic Canada with “The Missing Pages”: the incredible story about Beethoven and Canadian Theodore Molt.  This show has Tom narrating and acting the part of Anton Schindler, Lori Gemmell on harp, as well as singer Patricia O’Callaghan playing Susanna Sotto & pianist Gregory Oh (Theodore Molt), and renowned Canadian actor David Boyes as Ludwig van Beethoven.

This is the cast list, and the performers pictured in the photo:

Tom Allen                             narrator, actor (Anton Schindler)

Lori Gemmel                         harp

Derek Boyes                          actor (Ludwig van Beethoven)

Patricia O’Callaghan            vocals, actor (Susanna Sotto)

Gregory Oh                           piano, actor (Theodore Molt)

 

On December 16, 1825, Theodor Molt became the sole Canadian to meet Ludwig van Beethoven, but what could have happened between the two men? After Molt’s florid greeting in one of Beethoven’s notebooks, the following four pages were violently ripped out and destroyed. Betrayal? Competition? Scandal? Or just old-fashioned ego and pride? With music, song, drama, history and informed speculation, The Missing Pages investigates.

Roots ‘N’ Blues – A’Court, Spiegel, Vinnick @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Apr 27 @ 7:30 pm

Join multi-award-winning artists, Canadians Suzie Vinnick and Charlie A’Court, and Australian Lloyd Spiegel, for a dynamic evening filled with songs, stories and laughs as they take their roots ‘n’ blues kitchen party from coast-to-coast.

Crossing the globe, commanding both festival and theatre stages, they are seasoned performers, singer-songwriters and storytellers on their own.  Witness the magic of these three remarkable and unique artists, showcasing not only their solo works, but their shared collaborations.

“Vinnick is a unique talent; a triple threat singer/songwriter/guitarist. She is emotive, joyous and funky all in the same song.” Blues Blast Magazine

“A’Court slides into his role as smooth soul man with ease…Singing high and mighty, rising into falsetto, getting into the groove, or slaying us with tenderness, he’s a singing tour-de-force.” Bob Mersereau, CBC

“Spiegel is ALL presence, authority, rhythm and drive. He epitomizes control, soul and passion with white hot ferocity and blazing instrumental mastery dangerous enough to spark a destructive inferno.”  – The Age, Melbourne
