Magic and Loss:
A Tribute to Lou Reed
April 13, 2019
The Opera House, Toronto
Art of Time Ensemble stepped out of the concert hall and into the storied Opera House, a historic venue for live rock & roll music, to remount this tribute to Lou Reed. A maverick of 20th century rock music, Reed infused his music with an art-pop edge and laid the groundwork for alternative music for generations to come. His songs were reimagined in inventive arrangements for a 10-piece ensemble fronted by singers Margo Timmins, Shakura S’Aida, Tom Wilson, Sarah Slean, and others.
