Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Allison Crowe’s singularity carries her across the globe and into such company as the Master of the Queen’s Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Britain’s Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, and tours with Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet (performing songs of Leonard Cohen). The Nanaimo-born musician earns hoorays from Hollywood where appreciative movie Director Zack Snyder called her to cameo in the latest Superman blockbuster.

"The most honest, heartfelt, and directly intimate concert in my entire life,” says veteran broadcaster Ross Hocker (WGTE/NPR). “I have been to hundreds of concerts of all sorts of music, but nothing like Allison Crowe! She is fantastico!” He adds, “Allison has a special gift that is so very rare in musicians today. She is true to her mind, heart and spirit. She also has a most wonderful humor which envelops her audience."

Delivering joys and thrills of favourite carols and all-season selections, Tidings, as well, showcases a cavalcade of Nanaimo’s finest young talent. An inspiring line-up opens the show curated by singing teacher Andrea Bertram, (Andrea Bertram Studio), and stage, concert and tour band leader Rick Becker (Woodlands Secondary) – mentors who set a teenage Allison Crowe on course.

"Crowe's voice (is) as much a manifestation of Christmas spirit today as Bing Crosby's was in 1942,” says arts journo Stephen Smysnuik. “It's as warm as an open fire; as gorgeous as snow-frosted evergreens; as tender as that hug you give your mother on Christmas day."

ChristmasReviews sums up: “Be prepared to be amazed.”
