still be fun if it really does feature four bones.<br />

It gets even better on the weekend at<br />
Aeolian Hall. First, it’s two dates with jazz<br />
sweetheart Jill Barber — she of the smoky<br />
voice and retro arrangements — first on<br />
Friday, <strong>October</strong> 19, then again Saturday,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 20. Barber’s latest album, Metaphora,<br />
dropped in June. Legendary Canadian concert<br />

pianist André Laplante is in the next night,<br />
Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 21. Laplante has played all<br />
over Canada and around the world with great<br />
orchestras, and records prolifically. A rare<br />
opportunity to see a master play.<br />
The next Parsons & Poole Legacy Concert<br />
goes Friday, <strong>October</strong> 27, 11 a.m. at the Paul<br />
Davenport Theatre in Talbot College. It<br />
features award-winning young Canadian<br />
concert pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin<br />
— who was a student of Laplante’s, and also<br />
records on the Quebec-based Analekta label<br />
where Laplante has long been a mainstay.<br />
Remember Centennial Hall? It still gets<br />
the occasional name act, sometimes great big<br />
ones. On Friday, November 2, former Great<br />
Big Sea front man Alan Doyle and his band,<br />
along with special guest Whitney Rose, are<br />
in to play some Newfoundland Celtic rock.<br />
They’re also at the Imperial Theatre in Sarnia<br />
the next night, part of the summer leg of<br />
Doyle’s #ComeOutWithMe tour. Should be a<br />
rollicking good time.<br />
The Jeffery Concerts has Quartetto di<br />
Cremona at Wolf Performance Hall on Friday,<br />
November 9. Founded in Cremona, Italy, the<br />
group plays historic instruments, including<br />
Stradivari, performs all over the world,<br />
records on the Audite label and routinely<br />
draws rave reviews. The all-Italian program<br />
includes works by Boccherini, Verdi, Puccini<br />
and Respighi. jefferyconcerts.com<br />

Best for last? Liona Boyd is at Aeolian Hall<br />
on Tuesday, November 13. Boyd, a legendary<br />
cross-over figure in the classical world, has<br />
played everywhere and everything since her<br />
debut in 1975. She used to open for Gordon<br />
Lightfoot, and has performed with Chet<br />
Atkins, Eric Clapton and Yo Yo Ma, to name a<br />
few. Don’t miss an intimate evening with the<br />
first lady of guitar.<br />
