In a fresh, new collaboration, St Albert pianists Justine Lai and Nancy Watt combine their love of ensemble playing to present a free concert in benefit of the St. Albert Chamber Music Society.

 

The first half of the program is presented with families in mind as the duo will perform the much-loved Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns. There are fourteen short movements each representing a different animal or animals. To set the scene, each piece will be introduced with the charming poetry of Jack Prelutsky, read by local award-winning actor, Paul Punyi from Rooney and Punyi Productions.

 

The second half of the concert will feature the French Composer, Marie Jaëll.  Justine and Nancy will perform Opus 8, the complete set of Twelve Waltzes and Finale.  Each short piece in the collection evokes elegance and refinement.

​

Families are welcome to stay for some or all of the concert.
