Pat Martino Quintet THU. NOV. 8 I 8 PM tenor sax Adam Niewood Alex Norris trumpet Pat Bianchi B3 Carmen Intorre drums

Martino is a four-time Grammy® nominee and a winner of multiple awards.

Considered one of the greatest guitarists in jazz, Martino had suffered a severe brain aneurysm and underwent surgery after being told that his condition could be terminal. After his operations, he could remember almost nothing. He barely recognized his parents and had no memory of his guitar or his career. He remembers feeling as if he had been “dropped cold, empty, neutral, cleansed, ...naked.”

In the following months, Martino made a remarkable recovery. Through intensive study of his own historic recordings, and with the help of computer technology, he managed to reverse his memory loss and return to form on his instrument. His past recordings eventually became “an old friend, a spiritual experience which remained beautiful and honest.” This recovery fits in perfectly with his illustrious personal history. Since playing his first notes while

still in his pre-teenage years, Martino has been recognized as one of the most exciting and virtuosic guitarists in jazz. With a distinctive, fat sound and gut-wrenching performances, he represents the best not just in jazz, but in music. He embodies thoughtful energy and soul.

He began playing guitar when he was twelve years old and left school in tenth grade to devote himself to music. During visits to his music teacher Dennis Sandole, Martino often ran into another gifted student, John Coltrane, who would treat the youngster to hot chocolate as they talked about music.

Martino became actively involved with the early rock scene in Philadelphia, alongside stars like Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon and Bobby Darin. Becoming an icon before his eighteenth birthday, Martino was signed as a leader for Prestige Records when he was twenty.

Anandi Bhattacharya THE VOICE OF MODERN INDIA FRI. NOV. 9 I 8 PM with Debashish Bhattacharya, Subhasis Bhattacharjee & Carola Ortiz

Anandi Bhattacharya comes from distinguished musical roots. Her father, Debashish Bhattacharya burst upon the musical scene with his new interpretations of traditional Indian raga music, which he wrote for, and performed on, 22-string slide guitars he designed and built. He invented playing techniques for these instruments that allowed for both lightning speed and maximum emotional nuances. Accompanied by brother Subhasis, a tabla master, Debashish toured and recorded across the globe. With the formation of his progressive World Music group MODERN INDIA, he introduced his daughter Anandi, a gifted and creative singer who has embraced both traditional and contemporary vocal styles. At age 20, she is now headlining her own shows, with help from father and uncle, and fellow contemporary vocalist Carola Ortiz from Spain.

Anandi’s singing is a mixed style of Agra, Patiala and Maihar schooling. Though she is a young singer, born in 1996, she has already been attempting songs from various genres of Indian music, Bollywood music, and popular western numbers. Yet she dreams of imbuing the cultural ethos of India in her presentation of music. Touring with her father, she has presented an experimental programme on Tagore’s songs and raga music inter-phase. Her tone and timbre, and her intellect portend a bright future for this precocious young singer.

10

Anandi’s uncle, Subhasis, is a leader of his generation of Indian percussionists. As the younger brother of Debashish, Subhasis grew up steeped in the deep musical background of the Bhattacharya family, learning melody and rhythm from infancy.

Now, considered to be a master player, he continues to study with Pandit Anindo Chatterjee, the senior tabla maestro. A leading studio musician in India, he has regularly performed in every major Indian music festival, has recorded eleven albums, and participated in tours of the USA, Canada, South Africa, Greece, Kuwait, Bangladesh, and Nepal.

The fourth member of the quartet is singer, clarinetist and composer Carola Ortiz; a new generation of artist, restless and multifaceted. She was born in Terrassa, Spain in 1986, a city linked to jazz. Her mother was involved in the theatre world and her father was a regular bass player at the legendary club Nova Jazz Cava de Terrassa. It was there that she got the chance to hear live international jazz stars from a very young age. Ortiz has participated in the recordings of more than twenty albums of different genres, including jazz, pop, rock, world, and experimental. She has also played with hundreds of musicians from her own country and from all over the world.

Serving Style: Women in Business on Main St.

Serving Style is one of six exhibits that make up Myseum of Toronto’s Discounted Histories, a show that takes a deeper look at the movement of goods, services and ideas that have formed Toronto’s retail landscape, bringing to light overlooked, unseen and forgotten histories.

Serving Style is a project partnership with Myseum of Toronto, Peppertree Klassics, the University of Toronto Faculty of Information and Markham Museum. The exhibit explores the story of Clementina Wilson and Karen Piper and their role as successful Main Street Markham female business owners.

Wilson was a successful 19th-century businesswoman whose dressmaking and millinery shop was a staple of the retail landscape of Markham Village Main St. Her shop was shared with her husband, Henry, who ran

a variety store. However, it was well known that it was her who kept Wilson Variety Hall thriving and successful.

Similar to Wilson, Piper continues the trend of successful female entrepreneurs on Markham Main St. Her long-running store, Peppertree Klassics, maintains a legacy of women in business.

The exhibit celebrates such women and explores the evolution of retail, service and style through the last 150 years. It will be on display from Nov. 1 to Dec. 2. The exhibition opening reception is scheduled on Nov. 10 from 2-4 p.m.

The Museum hours are from 12-5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Rachel Moats is the guest curator. Visit markhammuseum.ca for more information.

Markham Little Theatre presents Calendar Girls

As long as Hollywood has been making movies, filmmakers have looked to the centuries-long history of theatre for inspiration. Plays, from Shakespeare right up to Tennessee Williams and David Mamet, have been adapted for the screen countless times. More recently, theatre artists have begun to adapt filmed work for the stage.

It’s the origin of the Markham Little Theatre (MLT) second show of the season, Calendar Girls. It runs at the Flato Markham Theatre from Nov. 14-17.

“The film was lovely, but people who have seen the movie will find it quite different from the play,” says Gloria Thomas, the show’s director. “If you’ve seen the movie, you can expect to find something new and exciting in the story when you see us on stage.”

“Live theatre affords the cast and crew a chance to create a magical moment on stage for our patrons,” adds producer Angela Stewart. “The audience becomes a part of the production, fuelling the actors and their energy.”

Calendar Girls will benefit from that energy too.

The story finds a new widow, Annie, and her friend Chris setting out to raise money to buy a new couch for the waiting room at the hospital where her husband died. Their idea is devilish, as they convince a dozen or so of their friends to pose nude in a calendar to sell in the community.

“This beautiful play is based on the true-life story of a group of Yorkshire women who produced a nude calendar in order to raise money for cancer research,” says stage manager Sarah MacDonald.

“We’ve received nothing but positive reactions from our subscribers when they learn that it’s on this season’s lineup.”

For Markham Little Theatre, the Calendar Girls cast is quite large and just one of the many challenges for director Thomas. The play takes place over a year and requires many costume changes as well as clever staging to keep everything making perfect sense.

“We are a closely knit group of people who are having a great time during rehearsals,” says Thomas.

“There’s a lot of laughter and a lot of support.”

18

Back row: Michèle Browne (Jessie), Anne-Maria Hurle (Cora), Penney Donovan (Ruth), Nicky Marsh (Celia).

Front: Marlene Foran (Annie), Kerry Harman (Chris).

The two leading ladies are played by Kerry Harmon and Marlene Foran. Foran takes on the role of the widow while Harmon handles the adventurous friend who hatches the whole idea. The rest of the main roles, or Calendar Girls, are played by Penney Donovan, Nicky Marsh, Anne-Maria Hurle and Michèle Brown. Between these actors and the eight who round out the cast, there will be many familiar faces for MLT audiences.

“There are fourteen actors,” says McDonald.

“This means that some of our members, who might not normally act in our plays, get their moment in the spotlight.”

After their, now traditional, season-opening production at their studio space near the Markham Museum, MLT is happy to be back on the stage at Flato Markham Theatre.

“Being at Flato Markham Theatre allows us to provide our patrons with a larger show,” says Stewart.

“The up-to-date technology lets us play with light and sound on an advanced level and their technical staff are always helpful and supportive.”

This show is about as large as it gets for this stalwart company. No matter how big or challenging the production gets however, the people behind the scenes remain focused on the audience experience.

“This is a production that will leave audiences laughing and marvelling at the strength of the human spirit,” says Thomas. “It is a beautiful testament to friendship and proof of the power we hold when we face our fears with courage, humour and optimism.

Conceived & Directed by ADRIAN MARCHUK I Musical Arrangements by CHRIS TSUJIUCHI

FEATURING THOM ALLISON, ALANA HIBBERT, ELENA JUATCO, ADRIAN MARCHUK

THU. NOV. 22 I 8 PM

24

A night at the theatre can be many things. It could be high drama or it could involve song and dance. It can make you laugh, pique your interest or even roll a tear or two. There are nearly as many things that a night at the theatre could be as there are nights to go to the theatre.

Goldenberg Productions promises nearly everything one might imagine possible from a show with Any Dream Will Do: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

“It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the one and only Andrew Lloyd Webber,” explains performer/creator Adrian Marchuk.

“It’s a journey through the music, from Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Phantom of the Opera and Cats, while telling you the stories you never knew about the man behind the music.”

Any Dream Will Do: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber runs at Flato Markham Theatre on Nov. 22 at 8 p.m.

Presented as part concert, part docudrama and part storytelling set to music, Marchuk has reimagined Webber’s work to accompany the telling of his life’s story by four powerhouse voices. Backed by a three-piece band, the show also features a multimedia presentation that traces every inch of Webber’s life, while also offering a candid look at the fashion and trends that he lived through.

Of course, songs like Memory, Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, Love Changes Everything, Unexpected Song, Tell Me On A Sunday, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, and The Music of the Night all make show-stopping appearances. There is plenty of room for lighter fare too as the charming, funny and sometimes all-together-too-public foibles of Webber’s rise don’t get left out.

“His loves, his passions, his partnerships, his highs and lows,” says Marchuk.

Those emotions will be brought to life by four of Canada’s strongest musical theatre voices. Marchuk, himself, will be joined by Thom Allison, a Broadway alumnus as well as part of the original Canadian companies of Miss Saigon, The Who’s Tommy and Rent; Elena Juatco, who sang Eponine in the recent revival of Les Miserables; and Alana Hibbert who has been the highlight of numerous seasons at Shaw and Stratford.

The show was originally commissioned from Marchuk, who will be known to audiences from his turn as Frankie Valli in the Toronto production of Jersey Boys

by Theatre Collingwood in the summer of 2016. The show was later refined for a run at the Mady Centre in Barrie before its Toronto premiere in the spring of 2017.

“It’s a fantastic two-hour concert show that we are thrilled to be bringing to Markham,” says Marchuk.

The show also serves as a homecoming of sorts for two members of the company.

Both music director Scott Christian and producer Brian Goldenberg spent their formative years in Markham. Indeed, both had their first theatrical experiences with the Markham Youth Theatre and as Unionville High School students right on the Flato Markham Theatre stage.

“I spent a lot of time at the theatre between 1994 and 2005,” says Goldenberg.

“There is no doubt that I developed many of the core skills I use today during my time in Markham. It is a combination of nostalgic and thrilling to come back and share my current projects with the community where I grew up.”

Written and Directed by PETER ROTHSTEIN Vocal Arrangements by ERICK LICHTE and TIMOTHY C. TAKACH Music Direction by ERICK LICHTE

The Western Front, Christmas, 1914.

Out of the violence a silence, then a song.

A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht”, that is, “Silent Night.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. A remarkable true story told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

All is Calm recalls an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers met in “No Man’s Land” and laid down their arms to celebrate the holiday together by trading carols, sharing food and drink, playing soccer and burying the dead. Upon orders from above, they eventually returned to their trenches and re-instigated a war that would last four more years.

Created by Peter Rothstein, the production combines period songs and firsthand accounts of this remarkable event and has become an annual holiday classic.

Since its premiere in 2007, the a capella production is brought to life by a cast of 10 actor/singers and beautifully blends iconic WWI patriotic tunes, trench songs, medieval ballads and Christmas carols from England, Wales, France, Belgium and Germany with texts written by more than 30 World War I figures. This moving ode to peace is directed by Theater Latté Da’s founding Artistic Director Peter Rothstein with vocal arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach.

Rothstein believes that music, an important part of life in the trenches, helped create a context that made the truce possible. “Music was the common language, and as winter set in, the men began to hold impromptu concerts, singing to each other across the battle fields,

creating trust and a camaraderie,” says Rothstein. Rothstein conducted research for two years to develop All Is Calm.

“I wanted to tell the story in their own words, I created the drama by stringing together letters, war documents, autobiographies, World War I poetry, gravestone inscriptions, even an old radio broadcast,” says Rothstein. “For decades, the truce was considered a romantic fable, fiction, and I wanted to give legitimate voice to this remarkable moment that had somehow been denied its rightful place in history. I cannot express how gratifying it has been to share the story of these heroic men, in their own words, across the country and around the globe.”

All is Calm premiered in a live radio broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio on December 21, 2007.

Soulful Messiah FRI. NOV. 30 I 8 PM

Bring in the holidays with Ballet Creole’s signature holiday production, Soulful Messiah.

Using the universal languages of spirituality and joy, Soulful Messiah combines tap, African-Caribbean, ballet, jazz and modern dance styles, creating a unique holiday classic, soulfully danced to Quincy Jones’ Grammy® awardwinning rendition of Handel’s Messiah.

Ballet Creole has been active on the Canadian dance scene since August 1990.

Comprised of both a professional ensemble of dancers and drummers (the Company) and a School of Performing Arts (the School), Ballet Creole focuses on the process of “creolization”, a fusion of diverse traditional and contemporary Caribbean and African dance and music. On the Canadian landscape, the result has been both innovative and dynamic.

For the past twenty years, under the artistic direction of dancer/choreographer/percussionist Patrick Anthony Parson, Ballet Creole has consistently provided a forum for choreographers, dancers and musicians to practice their art.

On stage, the exuberant dialogue between the drummers and dancers of Ballet Creole generates enthusiastic responses. As a fledgling company, Ballet Creole performed to an audience of 5,000 at the 1991 WOMAD Festival in Toronto, where the company “drew thunderous applause” for its performances in which the “energy and brilliance of Caribbean and contemporary African cultures are portrayed”.

The Ballet Creole repertoire reflects the multicultural fusion characteristic of Caribbean culture for centuries. Indeed, Ballet Creole represents the forging of a new language, a unique blending of dance traditions from the old world and the new world. For the past twenty years the Company has sought to bring forth old traditions, nurturing their evolution in this North American “new world” thereby establishing a dynamic new artistic tradition in Canada. The result is a continuous creation of new energy through dance.

This performance/program was made possible with the support of the Ontario Arts Council’s Ontario Dances Program.

THEATRE GALA FESTIVITIES RAISE

More than 500 performing arts patrons discovered how Flato Markham Theatre’s Discovery Programs work magic on young, aspiring performing artists.

On Oct. 13, at the ninth annual Discovery Gala, guests were entertained with performances by students of the 2018 Discovery summer camp and student benefactors from Markham high schools. The theatre’s Discovery Program helps foster and promote an appreciation for the performing arts for people of all walks of life at all ages.

Mayor Frank Scarpitti described Flato Markham Theatre as “the ideal venue for outstanding performances that move and inspire us. Art, music and dramatic expression come alive at this theatre and it would not be possible without your kind contributions.”

Flato Markham Theatre honourary patron and Flato Developments president Shakir Rehmatulla echoed those sentiments saying how humbled he is to see the community come together to support the theatre and the arts.

“As a community builder and long-time resident of Markham, I have seen the positive impact these opportunities and programs have had on young peoples’ lives,” he said.

“To empower our youth and to prepare them for a dynamic future, we must foster their creativity and increase arts awareness. It is an essence of the human experience that shapes our future.”

The gala that culminated with a sold-out performance by Blue Rodeo. The band’s two-hour set regaled and rocked the audience with unabashed verve. Highlights included

32

rousing versions of Lost Together, 5 Days in May and Hasn’t Hit Me Yet.

“Our successes as a performing arts venue and education outreach institution are directly the results of community support,” said Eric Lariviere, Flato Markham Theatre general manager, who noted the gala raised more than $150,000. “But, to bring more internationally acclaimed acts to Markham, to introduce more people to the performing arts we need to invite more businesses and individuals to lend their support.”

During the theatre’s 2017/2018 season, approximately 7,000 elementary school students attended a world-class performance at no charge through the Every Child Every Year program and more than 1,100 kids attended Discovery Program camps.

Enrollment exceeded capacity, with more than 600 children on a wait list, while more than 4,500 community members at-large experienced Discovery outreach through informances in public spaces, workshops, master classes and artist talkbacks.

This season, Discovery activities include a master class by classical pianist Alain Lefèvre, who will lead a session with four Unionville high school students, observed by 30 student colleagues. That evening Lefèvre will conduct a second master class for piano students of Yahama Music School in Markham.

“We also have a joint program with Varley Art Gallery that ties together the gallery’s exhibition, Canadian Art of the First World War, with a performance of All is Calm, a play about the Christmas Eve truce of the First World War, at the theatre,” says

SPIRITS AND FUNDS Monica Pain, Discovery Program coordinator.

“We’ll be offering a special price to the Nov. 29 performance for all students who attend the gallery exhibition. We’re also doing a letter writing activation program, asking Markham District students to write a letter from the perspective of a soldier or family member.”

Since bursting to national acclaim after appearing as semi-finalists on America’s Got Talent and winning the top honours on TRU TV’s Fake Off, Lightwire Theater has gone on to enthrall audiences worldwide with their unique combination of skill and grace as told through the technological innovations of moving light characters.

People of all ages will be captivated by the dazzling visuals and unique menagerie of characters that magically appear out of the darkness. Combining the arts of puppetry, theatre and dance, this magical and captivating tale of family, friendship and hope set to timeless holiday hits including Nat King Cole, Mariah Carey and Tchaikovsky, creates a truly one-of-a-kind, inspired and exhilarating holiday experience that will be a treasured memory for years to come.

In this wonderful story, Santa’s helpers are putting the final touches on presents as a young bird named Max and his family head south for the winter. When Max gets blown off course during a snowstorm, he ends up alone and lost at the North Pole.

As he tries to make his way home, his adventure begins when he encounters friendly carolling worms, dancing poinsettias, Nutcracker soldiers, mischievous mice and an evil Rat King.

This delightful holiday production will make children wide-eyed with delight and warm even the smallest of hearts.

Each Lightwire Performance is a unique interpretation of a story told by dancers and glow-in-the-dark puppets. These stories are told solely through movement and puppetry, without words, so it is up to your creative imagination to determine what is happening on stage.

Creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp met while dancing in Twyla Tharp’s Broadway show Movin’ Out. An immediate connection was made as they discovered their mutual love of art, theatre and technology. After coming across a product called electroluminescent wire or “EL wire” for short, the possibilities seemed endless. Together, with their wives Eleanor and Whitney, they began to develop EL wire puppetry based on creatures that quickly gained personality. Their performances are a truly unique, innovative and visually dazzling theatrical experience. Utilizing the talents of four cast members, they strap on EL wire puppetry to their entire bodies and bring the creatures to life through movement and dance.
