Songbook 8: Brent Carver

May 22-23, 2015

harbourfront centre theatre, toronto

Brent Carver's career spanned the full range of performance possibilities, from Hamlet at the Stratford Festival to Molina in A Kiss of the Spiderwoman on Broadway. The Tony Award winner's exceptional range was reflected in a program of many genres, including the American songbook, music of the 1960s, and musical theatre.

This show was a highlight in our 28 year history. Accompanied by a selection of our finest musicians, Brent performed twelve songs crafted into ambitious arrangements exclusively for this concert by a selection of the best composers and arrangers in Canada.
