A Mother’s Love
August 5, 2018 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
A note from the Artistic Director
Welcome to our concert in honour of mothers! We’re so pleased to be here today for our Almonte debut at the beautiful Old Town Hall to share some beautiful music with you. Almonte is one of my favourite places, and my mother and I have spent many a beautiful afternoon here having picnics, visiting our favourite shops, eating great food, drinking great coffee…this feels like the perfect place, on a personal note, to share this concert program! We want to thank Amanda Pulker-Mok for helping us make our “Almonte Concert Dream” a reality. Amanda was a founding member of Hypatia, and it’s been wonderful to be able to work together again!
Pianist: Claire Stevens
