Lois Marshall by James Neufeld Pdf

Although she called herself "just a singer," soprano Lois Marshall (1925-97) became a household name across Canada during her thirty-four year career and remains one of the foremost figures in the history of Canadian music. She rubbed shoulders with Canada’s musical aristocracy – Glenn Gould, Sir Ernest MacMillan, Jon Vickers, Maureen Forrester – but Marshall always held first place in the hearts of her adoring fans. At the height of the Cold War, Moscow and St. Petersburg embraced her as warmly as Canada had. Yet Marshall remained true to her Canadian roots and to Toronto, her lifelong home. This first-ever biography recounts her dazzling career and paints an intimate portrait of the woman, her childhood encounter with polio, and her complex relationship with her teacher and mentor, Weldon Kilburn. Hers is a tale of a warm, courageous woman; it is also the story of classical music in Canada.

Reel Time by Robert Morris Seiler,Tamara Palmer Seiler Pdf

In this authoritative work, Seiler and Seiler argues that the establishment and development of moviegoing and movie exhibition in Prairie Canada is best understood in the context of changing late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century social, economic, and technological developments. From the first entrepreneurs who attempted to lure customers in to movie exhibition halls, to the digital revolution and its impact on moviegoing, Reel Time highlights the pivotal role of amusement venues in shaping the leisure activities of working- and middle-class people across North America.

Power to Rise by James E. Neufeld Pdf

"Power to Rise is the first fully documented account of the artistic and organizational history of this remarkable Canadian cultural institution. Based on archival sources, many hitherto unavailable, of the National Ballet of Canada and the National Archives of Canada, the book includes first-hand accounts of more than fifty of the personalities closely associated with the company throughout its life." "In Power to Rise, we learn of the inhospitable environment in which the National Ballet struggled to establish itself, of its close calls with bankruptcy, and of its evolution into a full-fledged professional company. We witness the events that led to Franca's arrival from England, the uncompromising and often controversial idealism of her artistic leadership, the company's dramatic and sometimes perilous growth to a level that prompted the greatest dancers of the age - among them Rudolf Nureyev and Erik Bruhn - to come to work with company's own stars, including Karen Kain and Veronica Tennant." "The text is illustrated with over 140 photographs, drawn from the company's enormous archives as well as from private sources, that re-create the characters, settings, moods, and artistry of the company."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
