A Review from Ensemble Vivant’s Performance…
For those fortunate enough to have spent Sunday afternoon (November 24th) at the Sanderson Centre in Brantford you experienced a delightful feast. Internationally acclaimed Ensemble Vivant performed brilliantly on stage offering a beautiful concert of everything from Bach to Ragtime. No matter the genre there was magic in the music of this esteemed group of musicians, all of whom communicated to their listeners with great sound and deep emotion. The group’s compelling playing was filled with bright and creative sound with a beauty all of its own.
This was an afternoon of music of the very highest quality. Ensemble Vivant was equally at home with both traditional classics and original contemporary compositions. It’s rare to hear music played with such depth and sincerity, and yet with a sparkle that moved its audience to new heights.
Thanks to the Brantford Music Club for their untiring efforts to provide these kinds of musical experiences to Brantford audiences.
