Haut Canada Trio Makes Impressive Debut

Congratulations to the brand new Haut Canada Trio ontheir memorable debut performance at last week's Artbar Classical Cafe.

The trio, featuring oboist Marc Gibbons (NAO '09) Spencer deMan (NAO bassoon '08-'09) and Talisa Blackman combined their exceptional level of musicianship with humour and engaging background information on the works they performed.

Marc did a great job on their logo, didn't he?

Judith Sandiford from the Artword Artbar Cafe was thrilled, writing to us that "I wanted to let you and everyone at Brott Music Festival know that the concert by Haut-Canada Trio yesterday afternoon at Artword Artbar was absolutely extraordinary!

"Marc Gibbons and his colleagues Talisa Blackman and Spencer DeMan are superb players, and very focussed on making some wonderful music with an unusual isntrumentation. The sounds of the oboe, bassoon and piano work beautifully together.

"This was their debut performance as a trio, and we are very proud that it happened at Artword. We hope to see more of them."

Bravo Haut Canada!
