press excerpts...

Campbell appeared with five colleagues, old and new, in a warmly received program titled Spirit 20: The Jazz Age, in which authentic period pieces by the likes of Milhaud, Martinu and Ravel were juxtaposed with recent compositions in a similar style by John Novacek, a brilliant ragtime/classical pianist from New York, and Alan Gilliland, a Canadian composer whose Spirit 20 (receiving its world premiere) turned out to be a terrific evocation of classic rags. This is the program, by the way, scheduled to tour through Ontario and British Columbia during the coming season.

post concert statements...

Dear members of Spirit 20,
On behalf of the Concert Association of Huntsville's board of directors, I would like to sincerely thank Spirit'20-the jazz age for a memorable concert! The entire performance was breathtaking. What an amazingly lively, inspiring and moving show you put on for us. It was an honour to have such a stellar group of musicians grace our 'stage'. Every piece of music was exquisite in its own way.
Thank you for starting off our thirtieth anniversary in such an extraordinarily beautiful way. It was wonderful meeting all of you and we hope to be able to host you again soon.
We wish you the very best in all of your future musical endeavours.
Thanks so much
Musically Yours

Martina Schroer, President, Concert Association of Huntsville (Ontario, Canada)
