Dinuk Wijeratne Trio: A Benefit Concert for Capella Regalis (Halifax)

We are delighted to announce the first of what will be an annual 'Nick & Friends' fall fundraising event
for Capella Regalis in which Founder & Artistic Director Nick Halley invites his dearest musician friends to perform an evening of music.

Dinuk Wijeratne is a Sri Lankan-born Canadian composer and pianist whose music embraces the diversity of his international background and influences. Joining him on stage will be Nick Halley himself as percussionist, and award-winning bassist Tom Easley, for a night that bends the boundaries of classical, jazz, and world music.

Tickets ($100) include the concert, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres designed by by Tyson McDow (head chef & co-owner, The Narrows Pub, Halifax) and Katherine Ryder-Burbidge (restaurant manager, The Seaside Shanty, Chester Basin), and $50 tax receipt. A $5 payment processing fee is added to the ticket price.

Bar opens at 5 pm, show runs 5:30 - 6:30 pm, and mingling with the artists following the show. 

All proceeds will support Capella Regalis's free educational programs for children. This event is co-presented with Musique Royale. Our Board Chair, Barbara Butler, will host the South Shore version of this event at Cecilia's Retreat in Mahone Bay on Thursday, Oct. 27.
