The upcoming line-up of Symphony Specials are sure to appeal to music lovers of all ages and genres. Fresh from the 2010 Lilith Fair festival tour celebrating women in music, Juno Award-winning singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk makes her debut with Edmonton’s orchestra and conductor Lucas Waldin. Everybody’s favourite Looney Tunes and characters from Warner Bros. Studios will appear on-screen at the Winspear Centre for three performances of Bugs Bunny At The Symphony. Crown jewels such as What’s Opera, Doc?, The Rabbit of Seville, and A Corny Concerto will be performed under the direction of conductor and creator George Daugherty. Paying homage to a composer that was one of the first to break down barriers between rock, jazz, and classical music, the ESO and Bill Eddins present music of the legendary Frank Zappa in Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow.
