Sung, Spoken, Played

The final performance of Water Week!

A unique blend of song, text and music performed by Festival Players’ Artistic Director, Graham Abbey; Canadian Opera Company Music Director, Johannes Debus; renowned Canadian violinist, Elissa Lee and internationally-acclaimed bass (and County resident!), Alain Coulombe.

Wellington resident Alain Coulombe is considered one of the most commanding and exciting singers of his generation. This French-Canadian bass is a favourite of international critics and audiences alike. In a career spanning over 25 years, he has collaborated with outstanding conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Helmut Rilling, Richard Bradshaw, Kent Nagano, Bernard Labadie, Mark Albrecht, Edoardo Muller, Alain Altinoglu, Ingo Metzmacher and Richard Bonynge.

We are thrilled to present this unique collaboration of four of Canada’s most established and distinguished artists.
