About the Show
Winter Morning Walks is a multiple GRAMMY award-winning album of two song cycles by composer/arranger Maria Schnieder, who has won seven GRAMMY Awards (in both classical and jazz music) and for her collaborations with David Bowie. The piece of the same name is an exquisite setting of nine short poems by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Ted Kooser, painting a winter landscape moving from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox.
Arranged by BC jazz legend Rejean Marois, Winter Morning Walks will be performed with the four-piece instrumentalists of Triology, alongside other seasonal festive favourites.
Enjoy this uplifting, timeless musical ode to the human condition that leaves audiences glowing with the transcendent power of art in the darkest time of year.
