The Peacemakers by Karl Jenkins
Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 7:30 pm
FSA Senior choir with guest musicians
Sonja Gustafson-Soprano

The text – Percy Bysshe Shelley, Gandhi, The Dalai Lama, Terry Waite, Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer, Carol Barratt, Karl Jenkins, St. Francis of Assisi, Sir Thomas Malory, Rumi, Nelson Mandela, Bahá’u’lláh, Anne Frank

‘The Peacemakers is dedicated to the memory of all those who lost their lives during armed conflict: in particular, innocent civilians. When I composed The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace for the millennium, it was with the hope of looking forward to a century of peace. Sadly, nothing much has changed.’
Karl Jenkins CBE

Leah Morise and Will Gillespie

#folkmusic, #ldnont, #music, #willgillespie

Join Will Gillespie and Leah Morise (with Mike Bourgeault) for a Saturday matinee of fun at the Richmond Tavern in London, Ontario.

Will Gillespie is a unique voice, a dynamic performer with a diverse catalogue of original songs, exploring Folk, Rock & Roll, Cabaret and other styles. He is a one-man show, accompanying himself on guitar and harmonica but his main instrument is the heartstrings. It’s a surprisingly full sound for such minimal instrumentation. Born and raised in South Porcupine, Northern Ontario, Will now calls Hamilton home. He brings this unique perspective to every performance, taking listeners with him from the small town to the big city, from the barn to the ballroom. Telling true stories beautifully through his lyrics, melody, voice, guitar and harmonica.

Leah Morise (with Mike Bourgeault) will be playing a double bill with Lynn Devine on Saturday night at the Regis for their Musical Chairs series. There is a special bonus of a “sweet draw” where you can get tickets to win a baked treat.

About Lynn:

Old East’s own Lynn Davis Bertie/Lynn Devine has been performing here, there, and everywhere, presenting her own songs as well as great roots standards for decades, constantly outdoes herself, and is currently enjoying the blissful epiphany of having more time for her music.

Rumour has it that Corinne Marshall may join them for a short set as well. 😉

About Will Gillespie:

Will Gillespie has been described as a “one-of-a-kind, finger-picking, old-time crooning, genuine songwriter you absolutely MUST see perform” -(Matt Thompson, Musician) with “the soul of a modern folk jazz troubadour…songs unfurl in the unadorned, unhurried way that is the mark of a true master artist…” -(Colin Gibson, Audio Reckoning) It’s been said “his music has the ability to speak deeply to absolutely ANYBODY” – (Jeremy Brazeau, Cambrian College) Born and raised in South Porcupine, Northern Ontario, now finding a home in Hamilton, Will Gillespie has developed an elegant and eccentric sound all his own. He is a dynamic performer with a diverse catalogue of original songs, played with a charming and whimsical off-the-cuff approach, combining elements of Folk, Rock & Roll and Cabaret. “from songwriter to crooner and cabaret man to power pop genius, Will Gillespie is always evolving his artistry” – (Paul Loewenberg, Artistic Director, Northern Lights Festival Boreal)
