Longest Night 2009 promises to bring some magic to winter solstice. The show will feature Anique Granger from Montreal a songstress extraordinaire whose recent album was a finalist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Also featured is Fides Krucker an internationally acclaimed vocal artist who has worked with Luciano Berio, and R. Murray Schafer, and has made a name for herself as one of Canada’s most unique voices.
"Letters" is the theme being woven into the 2009 Longest Night event. The idea of long distance relationships nurtured through letters holds a certain nostalgia in today’s world of instant communication. Letters across time and space are rife with bitter sweet stories of humour and intrigue. Also featured is Justine Davidson of Whitehorse - a journalist and actress whose playful investigation in to the world of letters is full of surprises.
Guitarist Paul Lucas; percussionist Andrea McColeman; and concertina player Scott Pearce join the Longest Night Ensemble which also includes Dave Haddock, Ryan McNally, Kyle Cashen, Daniel Janke, and Graeme Peters. And this year Longest Night introduces a new group, The Working Dogs.
Longest Night 2009 is directed by composer Daniel Janke.
