Posted on Feb. 5: Canadian musicians pay tribute to Hoagy Carmichael

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/Joe_Sealy.jpg” caption=”Joe Sealy”]Canadian musicians Joe Sealy, Cindy Church and Paul Novotny will pay an all-Canadian tribute to songwriter Hoagy Carmichael Friday, Feb. 7 at McMaster.

Entitled “The Nearness of You”, the concert will take place in Convocation Hall at 8 p.m. There will also be a special performance by Sealy and Novotny, who will play selections from various CD's they have produced as well as a collaboration of new material.

Born in Indiana in 1899, Carmichael created some of the twentieth century's most enduring songs, including Stardust, Skylark and Ole Buttermilk Sky.

Jazz pianist-composer Joe Sealy is renowned for his Juno Award winning Africville Suite and his recent Juno nominated Blue Jade.

Singer-songwriter Cindy Church is not only a popular folk country performer, but performed with Quartette with colleagues Sylvia Tyson, Caitlin Hanford and Gwen Swick.

Bassist Paul Novotny has performed with several musicians including Junior Mance, Jo-Ann Brakeen, Carol Welsman and Holly Cole. Novotny has three Juno-nominated CDs and one Juno award winner, and has toured the world.

Tickets to the performance are $25 each. To purchase tickets contact the McMaster School of the Arts at ext. 24246 or the after-hours hotline at ext. 23333.
