Historic melodies and masterpieces of popular music from the Second World War era are in store this Sunday as the popular Sunday @3 Concert Series continues in Ladner.
Although classically trained, the Cullis-Meadows Duo is decades-steeped in the unassailable charms of the popular melodies of the 1930s and ’40s.
Donna Cullis on piano and Howard Meadows on woodwinds present a performance linking styles of lyrics, harmony and melody with the rich and often tumultuous times in which the selections were composed and embraced by millions.
Cullis brings to the stage a lifetime of playing, teaching, singing and incorporating the lives of songs into her own life. A performer and storyteller of sparkling enthusiasm, her stage presence leaves all who experience her renditions thoroughly engaged and entertained by many surprising musical and historical insights.
Meadows is a 10-year alumnus of the Vancouver Chamber Choir and is currently a member of the UBC Faculty of Medicine. He was raised on music, performing in more than 500 of his Canadian Prairie family’s old time dance-orchestra engagements, beginning at the age of eight.
The concert will be at 3 p.m. at Ladner United Church. Tickets are $10 at the door.
