Prelude to Autumn - Sept. 8th

Prelude to Autumn

Sunday September 8th - 3 pm

We look forward to violinist & concert master Terence Tam  performing with Steinway artist & critically acclaimed pianist Lorraine Min performing at Muse Winery.
Enjoy selections from the works of Chopin, Franck, Pablo de Sarasate, Debussy and Ysaye played by these two world class musicians.  A delight for the senses amidst the beautiful vineyard setting.

Min has impressed audiences worldwide for her artistic brilliance and virtuosity. Cited by the New York Times for her "impeccable phrase-shaping" and "crystalline sound," Min's pianism continues to inspire with its indelible musicality and finesse.  

Of Tam, the Halifax Chronical Herald wrote "...Every phrase had the deceptive ease and grace of a ballet dancer combined with the weight and momentum of a figure skater.....impressive mastery of the musical ideas......he breaks through interpretation to find and to bring back to the listener a musical landscape where everything is new, fresh...in the third [movement] Tam turned up the heat, blazing through the incandescent scales of the cadenza like a comet ..."

The vineyard will be alight with the sounds of music.  Please join us.

Swing into Summer at the Muse - June 28th

Dock Side Drive at Muse Winery
Friday June 28th

We've got a fantastic night planned with the swingin' sounds of Dock Side Drive.
We kick off the evening at 6 pm with yummy Bistro Tapas in the vineyard.  At 7:30 it's swing time with the big band sound of Dock Side Drive.

Dock Side Drive (formerly "The Ford 7") is one of the West Coast’s newest swing & show bands. This dynamic band will entertain audiences with the music of the 1940s, 50s & 60s. At its core, the band features local Victoria musicians Don Leppard, Joey Smith, Anita Bonkowski, Heather Burns (rhythm section); Dave Flello, Paul Wainwright (horns); Chris Newstead, Fran Bitonti, and Angela Ireland Ford (vocals). They offer a blend of vocal and instrumental tunes that will usher you through more than three decades of song, including the music of Ray Charles, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and other favourites. You won’t want to miss the chance to see and hear this ensemble performing well-known swing, blues, jazz and show tunes! It’s guaranteed you’ll be swingin’ and singin’ along!

Dock Side Drive hosts a roster of seasoned and established musicians from the Victoria area, all of whom perform regularly both together and with other bands: “The Stomp Club”, “Canus”, “The Midnights”, and “String of Pearls” to name a few. Many of these veteran musicians have been seen on the Dixie and Swing Jazz festival circuit. Since its inception, Dock Side Drive has established a reputation as a show band that features vocalists & instrumentalists alike. They have built a repertoire of tunes, including Train Kept a Rollin’, Mac the Knife, Route 66, Blue Skies, What’ll I Do, Hit That Jive Jack, Hallelujah I Just Love Him So, Jump, Jive and Wail, and Sweet Georgia Brown.

Tickets - $35 includes Concert & Tapas
Cash Wine bar.

And of course, it's happening at  Muse Winery   11195 Chalet Road, North Saanich.
