Following the success of Ensemble Vivant’s concert at Music at Fieldcote in July, 2017, artistic director Anton Plas was quick to invite the group back to perform just 2 seasons later! This time, the program was Ensemble Vivant’s Tribute to Jazz Great Rick Wilkins with Catherine Wilson, piano; Corey Gemmell, violin; Norman Hathaway, viola; Sybil Shanahan, cello; Jim Vivian, bass; Mike Murley, sax; Kevin Turcotte, trumpet; Nick Fraser, drums. This concert attracted folks from as far away as California, and also included the man of the hour, Rick Wilkins himself, a native of Hamilton, ON. The following article – Leonard Turnevicius: A tribute concert to Rick Wilkins appeared in the Hamilton Spectator.

Thanks to the brilliant Darryl Lahteenmaa and his wonderful film crew, this concert was recorded and filmed live. What a privilege to have this live footage.
