She’s usually the one introducing the artists, but on Tuesday morning, Sarah Hagen will be the one sitting at the piano.
The host of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre’s Morning Melodies series, which features intimate performances by classical musicians in the centre’s Marie Fleming Hall, will give the final performance in the series.
“I really loved the intimacy of the small room,” said Hagen. “It was a really cozy environment for people, and it was quite unique.”
Praised for her inventive and precise playing, Hagen will provide a thrilling morning of music.
She has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves to critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe, and has appeared on Bravo Television.
Her solo album, Glass House Dancing, was nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards.
Strikingly creative and executed with impeccable precision, Hagen’s playing offers an intense and profound musical experience.
Morning Melodies begins Tuesday at 10 a.m. with coffee, tea, treats and a chance to chat with the musicians, followed by a 70-minute concert at 10:30 a.m.
Tickets are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors, and $18 for students and can be purchased through the Ticket Seller box office by calling 549-SHOW (7469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca.
