LAST COMMUNITY CONCERT
FOR THIS SEASON!
A wonderful treat is in store for people of all ages on
Sunday, May 4 at 2:30 p.m. in the Great Hall
an intergenerational concert by
TURKEY Rhubarb!
Based in Hamilton, Ontario, TURKEY Rhubarb comprises Dale Behnke (mandolin), Gerry Dion (guitar) and Paul Fralick (guitar). They sing in English, French and Spanish, and perform traditional children’s songs from North America, Mexico, Antigua, England, Scotland and Ireland. Dale, Gerry and Paul are great believers in diversity, and singing in different languages is their way of supporting this value. They bring a fun approach to traditional folk tunes. In Gerry’s words, the songs are unvarnished: they stand as they are and all listeners can respond as they wish. Dale says that the band is three seasoned guys who have not lost their love of music. And in Paul’s words, the band brings a profound respect and interest in children to every performance. The band has been together for about 17 years; between them, Gerry, Dale and Paul represent 140 years of music experience. TURKEY Rhubarb’s music is for dancing, clapping and singing along. Their harmonies, humour and sense of fun are worth a listen!
Come with your families and have a
great afternoon of fun on May 4!
