“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, ...”
As autumn descends on Southern Ontario, harpist Lori Gemmell and CBC “Shift” host Tom Allen join the FASQ in an exploration of the grotesque world of Edgar Allan Poe. Opening our sixth season, and joining the national Culture Days celebration, this concert features The Raven by Canadian legend Alexina Louie, André Caplet’s Conte Fantastique (inspired by Poe’s The Masque of Red Death) and Debussy’s mysterious and powerful String Quartet.
