To Unwind a Seashell
July 29, 7:30 PM
110 Humber Road
"to unwind a sea shell" is a collaboration between three NL artists: contemporary dancer Hilary Knee, pianist Stephen Eckert, and composer Robert Humber. Originally created via online communication, with all three members scattered across the country, finally Hilary, Stephen and Robert are all home together to present a colourful evening of piano and dance. They will present several solo piano pieces written by Humber, as well as some classic works by Claude Debussy and others. The heart of the program will be the piece "to unwind a sea shell," a 25-minute solo dance piece that explores themes of anxiety and the long journey to overcome it, "venturing beyond one's shell."
Moments in the Woods: A Sondheim Cabaret
August 7, 7:30 PM
110 Humber Road
After the success of Flair last summer, the cast is reunited for an intimate evening celebrating the genius of Stephen Sondheim, where every song is a story – experience the heartache of “Losing My Mind”, the hope of “No One Is Alone”, the desperate beauty of “Send In The Clowns”, and the complexities of living in “Being Alive.”
Wendy Woodland, Ian Locke, and special guest Tracy Michailidis, along with collaborative pianist Jennifer Billard will bring together some of the wit, emotion, and intricate melodies that confirm Sondheim’s body of work as some of the most influential pieces to hit the Broadway stage.

Greenwich Trio
with Boris Bizjak
August 11, 7:30 PM
110 Humber Road
Performing for the first time at Camber Arts, Greenwich Trio and Boris Bizjak (flute) present a program to mark the 100th year anniversary of the death of Gabriel Fauré.
Fauré was the teacher of Ravel and so Fauré’s penultimate work, the Trio in D minor Op 120, is included alongside an arrangement of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite for flute and piano trio. You will also discover new music with a jazzy world premiere by Slovenian composer Jani Golob, and a North American premiere of Living Trees by British composer Marcus Barcham Stevens. Also in the program is the youthful and passionate Smetana Trio Op 15 in G minor, one of the favourites of Greenwich Trio.
Classical Connections: Deantha Edmunds, Wayne Rogers, & The Chorale
August 22, 7:30 PM
First United Church, 19 Park Street
A concert of sacred classical music sung in Inuktitut.
Inuk Soprano Deantha Edmunds, recently appointed a member of the Order of Canada, will share sacred selections in Inuktitut from her album ‘Pillorikput Inuit: Inuktitut Arias for All Seasons,’ as they were sung in Nunatsiavut 200 years ago. Deantha is proud to have been raised in Corner Brook, and she is thrilled to collaborate with her former music teacher, Wayne Rogers, on this special program.
Wayne Rogers is no stranger to Corner Brook, having served as organist and choirmaster at First United Church from 1982 - 1997, and we are so thrilled to bring him back to that wonderful instrument, along with Deantha Edmunds vocals and our very own Chorale.
This project is supported by Empowering Indigenous Women for Stronger Communities and the ACC.
