Musique Royale

Musique Royale welcomes you to an evening of jazz and song with pianist and composer Peter-Anthony Togni and soprano Janelle Lucyk. Reuniting for an intimate house concert at Cecilia's Retreat in Mahone Bay, the pair will revisit and reimagine songs from earlier collaborations, with music that blurs the boundaries between classical and jazz storytelling. The program includes original works and standards, with themes varying from nostalgia, chance, and devotion, all the while combining lyrical immediacy and maritime sensibility.

Praised for her luminous tone and expressive storytelling, Lucyk is one of Canada’s leading early music voices, performing internationally as a soloist and artistic director while bringing a uniquely versatile presence to repertoire spanning centuries. Togni, a JUNO-nominated composer and improviser based in Halifax, is renowned for music that is both spiritually contemplative and boldly exploratory, with works performed and broadcast worldwide. All proceeds will support the Capella Regalis Choirs tour in late May. Exciting details can be found at www.capellaregalis.com.

Musique Royale is pleased to support Capella Regalis in their upcoming tour to Quebec and Ontario by presenting some very special events - complete with wonderful music, delicious meals, and, for added fun - silent auctions and door prizes. Excitement has been building for months among the choristers but in today’s world we need to face the unfortunate reality of cutbacks in government funding. Rather than dim any prospects of a tour postponement, especially on the heels of a successful ‘Songs of the Sea’ CD release, we look to those silver linings. Your donations are so incredibly important and attendance at events is valued now even more. Live music is to be celebrated - we know you will agree!
