PATRICIA O'CALLAGHAN with Andrew Downing & Robert Kortgaard

Sunday - August 20th - doors open 6:30pm / show 7:30pm

A favourite artist of the Festival, this classically trained soprano is best known for her
performances of contemporary opera, early 20th century cabaret music and songs of
Leonard Cohen.

She something of a wandering minstrel, with six solo albums and many interesting collaborations along the way. A speaker of French, Spanish, and German, her early recordings focused on European cabaret, but one of her most unique talents is the ability to blend a variety of languages and musical genres seamlessly together in her concerts, and completely embody whatever style she is singing at any given moment.

She just completed a six year stint as a Resident Artist at Toronto's Soulpepper Theatre Company. Her responsibilities there included conducting, teaching, mentoring young artists, producing, curating and performing in festivals, and developing new work.

Patricia will celebrate Canada 150 with her favourite all-Canadian tunes.
