Laughing Bird Arts Association presents
Stradivarius BaROCK
ALEXANDRE DA COSTA – violin
JOHN MARTIN – piano
What would the music of the Baroque period have been like if Bach found himself with today’s Rock and Jazz?
Multi award-winning violinist Alexandre Da Costa, accompanied by pianist John Martin, breaks the boundaries in a daring showcase of the music of composers who lived in the times of Louis XIV, remixed
Alexandre and his Stradivarius of 1701 reboot Vivaldi in Rock, blending Bach with Boogie, and fusing Pachelbel’s Canon with pop. After revisiting the great Baroque masters, Alexandre rounds off his show with very personal versions of his favorite songs by Queen, Leonard Cohen, and maybe even Metallica… hold onto your seats, this will be a most amazing concert!
Featuring music from Da Costa’s album ‘Stradivarius BaROCK’, anyone who experienced Alexandre previously will book again very quickly. An extraordinary musician and performer, he has received one of Canada’s highest cultural distinctions the prestigious Virginia-Parker Prize, amongst many others.
This program features music from Da Costa’s album ‘Stradivarius BaROCK’, recorded with Canadian stars of classical, jazz and world music: singers Bruno Pelletier, Mario Pelchat, singer/songwriter La Bronze (Nadia Essadiqi), the Taurey Butler Jazz Trio and more.
