SUMMARY:All The Madmen - South Okanagan Concert Series presented by Venables Theatre
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance \n\nAll the MadmenBreaking the Silence\, from Beethoven to Bowie \n\n“The duty of an artist is to reflect their time. In this crucial period of our lives\, when everything feels so desperate\, when each day is a question of survival\, I believe we cannot do anything but mobilize.” \n\nThese words\, spoken by the incredible human and artistic force Nina Simone\, resonate today with a striking relevance. All the Madmen is conceived as a concert where the voices of some of the most influential artists in history resonate with the audience. We bring to the stage artists who\, through their ideologies\, convictions\, and strength of character\, were marginalized in their own time: “Are they all mad?” The works featured in the program are enriched with poems\, texts\, and anecdotes\, allowing the abstract power of music to create a space for emotion\, release\, and collective reflection. \n\nThis program builds a bridge between past and present\, celebrating visionary artists who sought\, through music\, to transform the world. Their works\, born in troubled times\, reflect deep convictions and powerful commitment. From Hasta Siempre by Carlos Puebla in 1965 to the innovative tangos of Piazzolla and Borges\, from the musical defiance of Nina Simone to the boldness of David Bowie in All the Madmen\, and the universal plea of Pau Casals in 1971\, these creations bear the mark of hope and resistance. Long before them\, Beethoven already dreamed of equality and universality through his works. As artists today\, we continue this pursuit by commissioning bold new works from composers around the world\, inspired by this legacy. Music\, whether from yesterday or today\, holds a mysterious power: the ability to transform\, to move us\, and to push us forward\, just as these timeless creators envisioned. \n\nFollowing the great success of the program Résonances — with more than 200 performances since 2020 — the duo Stick&Bow returns with a similar structure\, combining classical masterpieces and contemporary music\, featuring original arrangements for marimba and cello\, crafted and performed with passion\, energy\, subtlety\, and finesse. \n\n​ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart of the South Okanagan Concert Series \n\nFriday October 16 – Collage Trad \n\nSunday November 15 – All the Madmen \n\nThursday January 21 – Aurora Piano Trio \n\nFriday April 2 – Virginia Sparvier-Wells Trio \n\nTICKETS: \n\nIndividual Event – $35 \n\n2-3 Events – $29.50 each \n\n4 Events – $27 each \n\nStudents – $5 \n\nBuy Series Tickets Here \n\nBuy Single Event Tickets Here
