I am involved in the Toronto Fringe Festival, or my music is.
My Wife, Sandra Lean Leighton, is starring in this one woman show she has written about being a veternary technition. Check the details on the dates page and come to the Fringe.
Also Wexford School for the Arts is involved in the Fringe with a remounting of the original musical "Summerland". Wexford has moved it's stage, musicians and large cast down from Scarborough to Harbord Collegiate for it's run. New music, lots of re-writes and great collaborations. It will easily be the largest show at the Fringe.
Tom gets dressed up to play an English Country Dance with fiddler Steve Fuller and caller Dale Hyde in Hamilton. EVERYone was dressed up and it was a lot of fun.
Fort York. Anne Lederman hosts World Fiddle Day with tunes from around the world. The room was packed with over 60 fiddlers…. and 1 accordion. Hmmmm.
Here is Tom with the Wexford School for the Arts Stage Band. I had a lot of fun this past semester. They backed the Music Theatre Company for both the Variety Show and for Joseph & the Amazing Tech. Dreamcoat – including all original orchestrations.
