Intoxicating music and spoken word
A Port Theatre Spotlight Series Presentation
Post-Show Chat in Theatre
This incredibly intimate collaboration of rich music and storytelling invites the audience to share meaningful moments with these two amazing artists
Classical pianist Sarah Hagen, the 2015 BC Touring Council Artist of the Year, performs all 13 preludes of Rachmaninoff’s Opus 32.
Spoken-word artist and former Canadian SLAM champion Brendan McLeod intersperses stories and poems.
The result is a narrative journey through Rachmaninoff’s life, from his exile from Russia to his battle with depression, tireless work ethic and dedication to beauty. Exultation explores the estrangements, losses and redemptions at the heart of contemporary political and social life. Exultation is an intoxicating music and storytelling collaboration.
“The intensity, dramatic flair, and passion of Hagen’s performance brought people to their feet. Brendan McLeod’s compositions touched on the personal, political and philosophical in a torrent of words, creating tsunami-like waves that built to a crescendo every bit as powerful as Rachmaninoff’s. This show exceeded our wildest expectations and we would encourage other presenters to consider this new work and these accomplished, multi-talented artists for the future.” Lynnda McDougall, Executive Director of the Bulkley Valley Music Association
