It takes around an hour for a c-train from Dalhousie to arrive at Chinook, and when you’re really rushing to get some Christmas shopping done, time stretches.

An exciting and award winning discography, which includes his recording of [...]
The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) is the home to approximately 65 world class musicians, and Robert Penner is one of them. Penner fortunately happened to be the father of a very good friend, and having been overwhelmed by the grand majesty of the CPO like in the Wonder of Chopin concert and the Mozart and Salieri concert, I felt very [...]
The best violinist in the world Maxim Vengerov and Bassiona Amorosa, a born bassist, play Czardas. It’s amazing!!! 16
