Samuel Deason
A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Thursday, March 31, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School.
Samuel Deason presents Kaleidoscope. A project crafted with the intention of delving the depths of emotion and color. Intensity will be artfully controlled through a carefully selected and diverse repertoire contrasting in tension and release, culminating with explosive momentum to the end. Although each composer is famous and brilliant by his own right, some of the pieces are quite rarely heard by a live audience. Resoeugi’s Notturno for example, is an absolute gem in the piano repertoire and is among the most beautiful pieces ever composed. This mix of music is just the right one to balance inspire, and zap one’s physical energies, and musical palate!
