TONIGHT’S ENTERTAINMENT

Rosemary Siemens & the Sweet Sound Revival

International violinist and vocal sensation Rosemary Siemens is known for her quirky laugh and warm genuine country-girl personality. Originally from Plum Coulee, Manitoba, and currently based in Burnaby, B.C., Rosemary has been mesmerizing audiences around the world while performing on Sparkle, a three-hundred-year-old violin that was played in King Louis XIV’s orchestra.

Rosemary has had the honor of performing in over twenty-five countries, gracing some of the world’s most iconic stages, including four times at New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall, at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry, and she was the first instrumentalist to ever perform at the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican since its first mass in 1483.

Inspired by her country roots and small-town upbringing, her latest album, Plum Coulee, My Home, with her band The Sweet Sound Revival has gained international success including winning “Best Country/Gospel Album” at Canada’s Gospel Music Awards and the Global Music Awards Gold Medal.

Message from the Chair + CEO

Friends, welcome to Nashville Nights. Tonight we’re gonna have a party!

The Nashville spirit is about southern charm and hospitality, perfectly balanced with good vibes, great music, and neon lights.

For us it’s also a chance to celebrate our community hospital, recognize some amazing contributors, raise funds for a great cause – and yes, maybe even do a little Honky Tonkin.’

This evening’s proceeds will go toward supporting badly needed medical imaging equipment; technology that ensures accurate diagnoses so that you, your family, and your friends can receive the best possible health care, right in our own community.

On behalf of Burnaby Hospital Foundation’s Board of Trustees and staff, we would like to extend our most sincere appreciation to all of our generous sponsors, donors and guests for your support in making this night a success.

Please participate generously in our auctions and fund-a-cause, and of course, y’all have fun now!

Sincerely,

Russ AungerChair, Board of Trustees

“Xiaofang” by well-known Chinese visual artist, Yao Hua Wang, is full of complex nostalgia from the artist’s youth which encapsulates the emotional sustenance associated with the “Educated Youth” historical movement. The work, which showcases Yao Hua’s courage and skill in the use of color, is inherently capable of healing and inspiration as it vividly fuses the artists own feelings and memories with historical context from that special era. This piece of art uses Japanese mineral pigments as paint, and special rice paper mixed with hemp. More than 30 years later, the mineral pigments have maintained much of the color stability and beauty from when they were originally painted.

Yao Hua Wang is passionate about charity. In 2005, his oil painting “In the Mood for Love” sold for RMB 210,000 ($39,000 CDN) in support of the Shanghai Charity Foundation.

All proceeds above reserve price in support of Burnaby Hospital Foundation.
