On April 25th, the Heliconian Club will host 'Love Drunk,' a musical program that promises to be as evocative as its title. This concert is a deep dive into the themes of intoxication, love, memory, and longing, brought to life by a talented group of musicians.
The Program
The concert features a fascinating blend of Persian folk-inspired modern works by Reza Vali, alongside contemporary pieces by Canadian composers Margaret Maria, Parisa Sabet, and Saeed Kamjoo. It’s a rare opportunity to hear these diverse musical traditions in conversation with one another.
The Performers
The program features an impressive lineup, including Ali Kian Yazdanfar, Principal Double Bass of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and pianist Brigitte Poulin, both professors at McGill University. They are joined by soprano Bahar Harandi and violinist Saba Yousefi, ensuring a high-calibre performance.
The Venue
The Heliconian Club, located at 35 Hazelton Ave in Yorkville, is one of Toronto’s most beautiful and historic venues for intimate concerts. It’s a perfect setting for this kind of program, offering an acoustic and visual experience that you won't find in larger concert halls. If you’re looking for a sophisticated and moving evening of music, this is it.
