Magic and Loss: A Tribute to Lou Reed
february 27-28, 2015
harbourfront centre theatre, toronto
Seven singers performed 16 songs in a retrospective of a career of the artist who drafted the blueprint for alternative rock music in the 20th century. Lou Reed's pioneering efforts infused the rebellious origins of rock and roll with artistic influences from other genres of art. Icons of Canadian pop and finest Canadian musicians payed homage to Reed in a broad sampling of his work, presented in new arrangements created specially for the tribute.
