"Over Hill and Valley" Recital - October 26th
Pianist David Chafe and singer Christopher Bowman are pleased to invite you to Over Hill and Valley, a recital of classical music, to take place Friday, October 26th at the D.F. Cook Recital Hall, MUN School of Music. Their collaborative debut CD Over Hill and Valley released in August features two gorgeous song cycles: the beautiful Songs of Travel by Ralph Vaughan Williams (based on text by Robert Louis Stevenson); and the stunning Earth and Air and Rain by Gerald Finzi (based on the poetry of Thomas Hardy). In recital, they will be performing Songs of Travel in its entirety, a selection of highlights from Earth and Air and Rain, along with some wonderful works by Beethoven, Ravel and Mercure. Admission is only $10 and available by phoning 726-6464 or by e-mailing dbchafe@nl.rogers.com.

The CD Over Hill and Valley has earned David and Christopher a nomination in the classical category at this year's MUSICNL conference and awards. They are honoured to have been invited to perform at the awards show on October 28th at the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre.
