Song, and the Stone Carver’s Art, March 8, 2009
|
Singing and stone carving, artistic activity profoundly rooted in the history of human life, were celebrated together in an afternoon gathering at Gustin House on Sunday, March 8. Soprano Mary Joy Nelson of North Battleford, with collaborative pianist Gregory Schulte, performed works by Richard Strauss, Franz Liszt, and Vincenzo Bellini; violinist Martha Kashap joined the musicians for a group of songs by Regina composer David McIntyre. Robert Assié, award-winning stone carver and founder of the Tesella School of Stone Carving in Saskatoon, spoke about his art, its traditions, and its revival today. Mr. Assié’s presentation included examples of his carving and pictorial illustrations
