Ron Davis and SYMPHRONICA kick off their exciting 15/16 performance season with some epic Canadian talent: supreme Nova Scotian singer, actor, writer and mega-personality Shelly Hamilton. Together, they’ll bring their collective wow-power to some of the powerful, beautiful melodies and lyrics Canadians have written. And with Shelly in the house, expect high energy, dramatic surpises, a hugely pleasurable experience, and fun! Special guest host: Toronto Poet Laureate George Elliott Clarke.
SYMPHRONICA is the brilliant brainchild of highly acclaimed pianist/ leader / composer and ToRONtonian Ron Davis (“one of the great minds in jazz” - JAZZ.FM). Like Toronto, SYMPHRONICA is eclectic, beautiful and multicultural city. Davis drives SYMPHRONICA to cover a huge musical range – from Lady Gaga to Glenn Gould – and a rich range of collaborating artists – from rock guitairst Jason Nett and the Japanese drum group Nagata Shachu to Argentinian dance sensations The Lombard Twins. SYMPHRONICA’s home since 2013 has been Toronto’s fabled Lula Lounge, host to some of the finest music anywhere. SYMPHRONICA has been a brilliant light in a shining music scene.
Shelley Hamilton is an award winning, critically acclaimed singer/actor/host/writer, a multi-talent in the entertainment industry. Her recording Feeling Good and her one-woman show of the same name, garnered rave reviews across the country. Frequently seen in television and on film, Shelley has been called “a one-woman singing and acting powerhouse.” Shelley is devoted to Canadian music and thatre. She is always thrilled to be “down home” in Nova Scotia. Performances there include the Africville Suite with Joe Sealy at Neptune Theatre, the 25th Anniversary of the Black Cultural Centre, the opening of the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre. Shelley wrote and toured a one woman play, A New Hope, about the 1st Black communities in Canada. She is a recipient of the African Nova Scotian Music Association’s Artist of the Year award.
