Musical Celebration of DjangoReinhardt and StéphaneVan Django.Grappelli,” with the Vancouverbasedensemble Van Django.Colours of Music Festival:“Wonderful Music, WonderfullyPerformed.” Those apt wordsappear on the homepage ofColours of Music’s website,which also informs us that thefestival will “expose you totalent from all across Canadaand other parts of the world.”Returning to the topic of festivalssharing their artists andconcert ideas, five concerts forwhich that seems to be the caseat Colours of Music providea nice taste of the festival’smyriad offerings.On September 28, SweetWater’s Mark Fewer, and James Campbell,join pianist Angela Park for “Classics at Noon,” in works by Bartók,Milhaud, Brahms, Beethoven, Saint-Saëns and Catoire. The nextevening, Fewer and Campbell, along with guitarists Graham Campbell(yes, the clarinettist’s son), Roberto Rosenman and Chris Bezant, andbassist Chris Kettlewell, pick up the gypsy jazz fever where Van Djangoleft off, in a concert titled ... can you guess? Oui, “Hot Club of France:music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli.”A little earlier on September 29, in a bit of “downsizing” from thePEC Music Festival’s 30-finger extravaganza the day before, pianistsRobert Kortgaard and Peter Tiefenbach play an exciting — thoughperhaps less perilous — program of works by Mozart, Schumann,Dvořák, Ravel, Poulenc and Grieg for one piano and 20 fingers. Anyway you cut it, that’s still a lot of fingers on one keyboard.The tireless and ubiquitous James Campbell appears twice more:once with the Gryphon Trio in a performance of Messiaen’s Quartetfor the End of Time on October 1, and the next day in a concert titled“On the Upbeat,” with the Amara Piano Quartet. They will performworks by Beethoven, Suk, Ager and others.Beyond the five concerts mentioned, there are another 21 toconsider, ranging from “Music for the Dance,” performed by DuoConcertante with narration by ballet legend Evelyn Hart, to Bachand Debussy on the banjo. The festival’s website said it best: “What acolourful, relaxing way to spend those first few lazy days of autumn!”And, for those of you thinking to yourselves, “enough already withthe festivals,” fear not.
