$89.50 - $39.50
No stranger to Roy Thomson Hall, soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian
returns to delight her many hometown fans with a program celebrating
the music of Gomidas Vartabed (1869-1935), the revered saviour of
Armenian folk music. Ms. Bayrakdarian sings the long-lost Gomidas
songs in the original Armenian, amplifying the losses of a people
whose culture was nearly destroyed, while celebrating their joys.
Since winning the 2000 Placido Domingo Operalia Competition, the
young Armenian-Canadian has become a star at the world’s major opera
houses, has won three Juno Awards, and is the subject of the 2006
Gemini-nominated film A Long Journey Home which follows
her concerts during her first trip to her ancestral home of Armenia.

$149.50 - $49.50
World-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma is joined by
The Silk Road Ensemble, a multicultural collective of virtuoso musicians,
for a presentation of traditional and newly commissioned compositions
by composers from the Silk Road lands. The Silk Road Project
(the brainchild of Mr. Ma) is perhaps the most fascinating phenomenon
of today’s world music scene. Now in its 10th year, the
visionary venture continues to explore, absorb and illuminate the
many cross-cultural influences that flourished along the ancient
trade route between China and the Mediterranean Sea for over 2,000
years.
