Kelsey Arsenault
Kelsey Arsenault is an indie folk artist and certified music therapist from Newfoundland who was recently nominated by Music NL for "FOLK/ROOTS ARTIST OF THE YEAR". Her debut album ‘Gallery Walls’ is captivating. Recently said by Newfoundland’s Kellie Loder: “(Kelsey’s album) reminds me of the joy of songwriting and how powerful a voice and a guitar can be. It transported me and had me wishing I was at a cabin secluded in the woods while watching the ocean out the snow-filled windows of Newfoundland. Kelsey’s voice is what does it for me.”

Now, hear its bright, open-air sound and toe-tapping tunes – including its signature, sailor-inspired Alla Hornpipe – live with the Symphony and our very own Principal Baroque Leader Julia Wedman. And joining us for only his second Canadian performance, South American superstar male soprano Samuel Mariño delights with his unique vocal talent and dazzling stage presence.

Even though Bach and Telemann lived at the same time, wrote in similar genres, and knew each other – they were born in the same year and their paths crossed many times – their musical styles differ.
Explore this contrast in a program that highlights why both composers remain impressive today, led by harpsichordist Steven Devine, best known for playing with the critically-acclaimed Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
