Artist Info
Chantal Kreviazuk
It’s been anything but a traditional ride through the music business for Chantal Kreviazuk. Her first album was shot out of the Canadian Music cannon, snagging a Juno nomination for Best New Artist. Her three following albums would cement Ms. Kreviazuk as one of the premiere female artists in Canada. It was a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving On A Jet Plane” (from the Armageddon soundtrack) that gave Kreviazuk a break in The USA. She wisely realized that this method of reaching an audience was as important as the radio, which at the time was seen as the primary force behind album promotion. Chantal kept busting out songs for the big and small screens. Dozens of placements followed; Dawson’s Creek, Everwood, Uptown Girls, Joan of Arcadia, Serendipity, Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, Seven Pounds, Confessions Of A Shopaholic, Men In Trees, The Hills, Army Wives…the list is as long as your arm.Music supervisors and label executives took note of Chantal’s extracurricular writing, asking for songs that could be worked into a film, or into the album of a developing artist. Co-writes with Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne locked in her reputation as a prolific songwriter, as have further songs with/for David Cook, Gwen Stefani, Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Carrie Underwood, among others.
It’s rare for Chantal Kreviazuk to get through a sentence about her music without mentioning her husband and longtime musical collaborator, Raine Maida. Their ten-year working partnership runs the gamut; producing tracks for young bands, writing songs for superstars, and recording their own albums. Working with Warchild Canada and other causes close to her heart including The Canadian Mental Health Association and Polar Bears International also help to keep Chantal grounded. She’s traveled to Iraq for Warchild and has been named as an Honorary Founder of the charity. Her work with CMHA is a great outlet to help stamp out the stigma that surrounds mental health. She says, “I want people to realize that we’re all born with unique challenges. When we isolate people because of their differences, the fabric of our society is compromised.”
This is Ms. Kreviazuk’s debut with the ESO.
Lucas Waldin, conductor
The 2010/11 season marks the second for Lucas Waldin as Resident Conductor for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. This mentorship position is made possible through the Canada Council for the Arts and Enbridge. Mr. Waldin graduated in 2006 from the Cleveland Institute of Music with a Masters in Conducting. He has performed with L'Orchestre du Festival Beaulieu-Sur-Mer (Monaco), Staatstheater Cottbus (Brandenburg), and Bachakademie Stuttgart. Lucas was assistant conductor of the contemporary orchestra RED (Cleveland), director of the Cleveland Bach Consort, and a Discovery Series Conductor at the Oregon Bach Festival. In 2007, he was invited to conduct the Miami-based New World Symphony Orchestra in masterclasses given by Michael Tilson Thomas. In Lucerne in 2009, he also participated in a masterclass led by Bernard Haitink, with the Lucerne Festival Strings.
A native of Toronto, Lucas Waldin has spent summers studying in Europe, including studies at the International Music Academy in Leipzig, the Bayreuth Youth Orchestra, and the Acanthes New Music Festival in France. On this continent, he has studied under the renowned Bach conductor Helmut Rilling at the Oregon Bach Festival, and has attended conducting masterclasses with the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Toronto. Mr. Waldin received a Bachelor of Music degree in flute performance from the Cleveland Institute, studying with Joshua Smith.
The ESO would like to thank Enbridge Pipelines for their commitment to the arts and this program by matching the funding provided by the Canada Council for the Arts.
