Take This Waltz

February 4-5, 2011

harbourfront centre theatre, toronto

A program that explored the waltz throughout the last 150 years. We began with an arrangement of Johann Strauss' Emperor Waltz and ended with Maurice Ravel's La Valse. In between, we explored waltzes by composers Shostakovich, Korngold, Schnittke, and Liszt, as well as Waltz for Debby by jazz legend Bill Evans and songs by Tom Waits, Burt Bacharach, Leonard Cohen, and Steven Page.
