Music
Infinitus
When: Sunday May 7, 2017 – 2 PM
Where: Pender Harbour School of Music
Details: A family concert – classics with a twist
They call themselves a BeatBoxing string trio – say what? – but most of us would call them “dazzling”. Anthony Cheung, violist, Alex Cheung, cellist and violinist John Littlejohn take chamber music to a new and unexpected level. Their brave mix of classical standards melded with hip hop and jazz puts them into an entirely new and welcome category. “It’s amazing the musical connections these three award-winning musicians can cook up…” – Vancouver Sun.
Tickets are $25 available from Harbour Insurance in Madeira Park or the Sechelt Visitors Centre. Also, online at www.penderharbourmusic.ca
Sponsored in part by Gwen and Ed Hawkins
