You are invited to celebrate . . .
Glorious Wood! Cello, Bass, and the Woodturner’s Craft
Sunday, June 8, at 3:00 p.m.
Gustin House, 512 - 10th St. East
The versatile and timeless beauty of wood has intrigued, inspired, and indeed intoxicated luthiers, artists, craftspersons, creators all, across centuries and cultures. We welcome you to Gustin House for an afternoon celebrating the glory of wood and "the work of our hands" (Ps. 90:17).
Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra members Joel MacDonald, Principal Cellist, and Stephen Kreuger, Bassist, are delighted to share the aural richness of their low-range string instruments in favourite works the two friends have selected. They will perform rarely-heard music, duettos written specifically for cello and double bass by virtuoso bassist Domenico Dragonetti (1763-1846) and by the composer most famed for his operas, Gioachino Rossini(1792-1868).
Michael Hosaluk, acclaimed internationally and across Canada as a master woodturner, will speak about his craft. He will display select pieces from the wonderfully varied range of unique works that have brought him wide acclaim, from showings locally and nationally, and in distinguished collections held in countries around the world.
This event marks Lyell Gustin’s 130th birth anniversary (b. May 31, 1895). Join us for a reception.
Admission at the door: $25
