MUSIC CRITIC
If
you're turned on by movie music and not just the theme from
Jaws or Silence Of The Lambs then have
Michael Danso and David Warrack got a show for you.
With the 50-strong Canada Pops Orchestra on hand, its
ranks filled with top-flight musicians, the singer and the
musical director plan to take you on a magical journey through
cherished hits from the silver screen from the acoustically
friendly George Weston Recital Hall in North York.
Guest artist Danso, who's toured internationally with
Riverdance and has performed on Broadway in shows such
as Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar, will be
performing for the first time in his hometown his stage
show that's been seen around the world, From Harlem To
Hollywood.
The program features the music of Harold Arlen and Cole
Porter, which means classy songs like "That Old Black Magic,"
"Stormy Weather" and "Love For Sale" with guest conductor
Charles T. Cozens on the podium.
Earlier in his career Danso successfully toured a show
he dubbed White Tie And Tails, featuring the music of
Duke Ellington and George and Ira Gershwin.
Expect from the orchestra, under the command of
conductor Warrack who founded it in 2001, classical numbers
such as "Singing In The Rain" and "On The Waterfront" all the
way to "Titanic" and "Schindler's List," with stops in-between
at themes from the vast crop of Disney films.
Warrack's extensive musical background includes touring
for more than a decade with legendary Toronto contralto
Maureen Forrester, working as music director/conductor on more
than 250 productions, including Shenandoah on Broadway
and collaborating in writing more than 50 musicals.
From Harlem To Hollywood plays at 2 p.m. and 8
p.m. tomorrow. Tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/ and
