Who doesn't enjoy a Classical Hodgepodge?

At Wednesday's Noon Hour concert we'll enjoy an eclectic selection of piano pieces across four centuries.

Julian Kapalanga is entering Grade 11 at Saint Mary's High School and studies Grade 9 piano with Jen Smith Lanthier.

He has been playing piano for around six years. Julian’s favourite part of piano is probably learning new challenging pieces.

Adrian Little is a pianist, composer and conductor originally from Port Elgin. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance and Music Theory from Wilfrid Laurier University where he was a student of Leslie De’Ath and Leopoldo Eric.

He has spent the last decade performing as a soloist and accompanying singers and choirs all over Southwestern Ontario.

Currently, he is the Director of Music for the Faith Lutheran Church in Port Elgin and the pianist for the A Cappella Chamber Choir.

He is also very proud to be one half of the Hammers and Strings Piano Duo whose concerts have raised thousands of dollars for various local and international charities.

When he is not playing the piano or working at his day job, you can find him at home in Arkwright with his wife, Faith, and their pets. 

Music is for sharing so concerts are open to all and pay-what-you-can.

Children, and anyone who hasn't felt that folk, classical, or traditional music was for them, are warmly welcomed. Clap, laugh, and cry as you wish throughout the show. 

Come early and stay to chat or sneak in or out as your schedule requires. Bring yourself and all of your friends and acquaintances.

We look forward to seeing you!
