A Classic Klezmer

Sunday, June 1 & Monday, June 2, 20147:30 PM

Calgary, AlbertaThe Lougheed House

From the country where the piano was originally invented, Paolo Fazioli has completely re-invented this instrument.

In a short time Fazioli has become a legend. The individually hand-crafted Fazioli pianos are garnering attention the world-over for their crystal-clear sound.

No other piano has more innovative, technical design, finer materials or better workmanship.

No wonder it is a favourite of many of the world’s greatest pianists including Herbie Hancock, Angela Hewitt, Louie Lortie, Nikolai Demidenko among others.

Mountain View Connection would like to thank Michael Lipnicki Fine Pianos for the donation of the piano.

Marc Chagall’s The Fiddler is an oil painting completed in 1913 while the artist was established in France. The quasi-cubist painting illustrates a combination of Russian and

French art. Executed in a high contrast colors, the painting is a representation of a fiddler in Chagall’s village, Vitebsk.

The fiddlers itself is merely a singer creating music for the cross points of life of every man starting with the birth, the wedding and the death. Using contrasting colors, the artist

focuses of creating a visual image of internal battle of the average individual during his lifetime using the fiddler as the key symbolic element.

lougheed house, also known as beaulieu, was home to senator James alexander lougheed, Lady Isabella Hardisty Lougheed, their six children and staff.

this grand sandstone prairie mansion was built in 1891 and enlarged in 1907; the impressive scale and the high quality of the design, materials and interior furnishings of the house reflected the wealth and prestige of the Lougheeds. An article in the Calgary Daily Herald claimed it was “one of the finest residences in the Canadian northwest.”

In their day, when the population of this pioneer town was under 4,000, the Lougheeds were among Calgary’s most influential citizens; they would remain so for decades. Their house was a political and social hub of this young and fast-growing prairie center, and received many renowned visitors.

Today, Calgary’s population is over one million and Lougheed House proudly stands on its original 2.8 acre estate, now on the edge of downtown Calgary. The vision continues, as the Conservation Society sources furniture and artefacts to furnish rooms and form displays. Exhibitions are held regularly.

Born in Belarus in 1887, Marc Chagall was a French painter, printmaker and designer associated with several major artistic styles, synthesizing elements of Cubism,

Symbolism and Fauvism.

one work in particular, I and the Village (1911), pre-dated Surrealism as an artistic expression of psychic reality. An early modernist, Chagall created works in nearly every artistic medium, including sets for plays and ballets, biblical etchings, and

stained-glass windows. Chagall died in France in 1985. Today, he is widely regarded as one of the most successful artists of the 20th century.
