award winner and Juno nominee, John Gracie is a fan favorite.
This maritime troubadour who grew up in Cape Breton on
the Atlantic Ocean will bring you his original music of
the sea and his music of everyday people, the fisherman,
the auto mechanic and the folks that have to leave home
to find work. John is also known for his songwriting depicting
the issues of the day, the homeless, the aging, the environment
and more. In concert, his audience will also enjoy his
selections of love songs, Canadian favorites and country
classics. His emotive songwriting and his ability to bring
the audience in will leave you wanting more.

for saxophonists. He finished fourth from a field of 144
of the finest young saxophonists in the world. Presently,
Harrington is the youngest faculty member at the University

bassoon and chamber music. A graduate of the Juilliard
School, Winnipeg-born pianist David Moroz enjoys a career
as one of Canada's most versatile artists. As a soloist,

of CBC Radio and is a veteran performer at Canada's most
important music festivals. In order to present as much

that spotlight the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone and
solo piano in turn.

The Celtic Tenors
. . . due to circumstances beyond our control, we are
unable to present The Celtic Tenors, however, in it's
place, we are proud to bring to Estevan, DESTINO.
DESTINO
Sunday, March 8, 2009
St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church
2:30 p.m.
Three
celebrated young talents "Leon Leontaridis, Joey
Niceforo and Paul Ouellette" recently joined to form
DESTINO, whose name means "destiny" in Italian
and Spanish. Before forming the group, the three vocalists,
who have varied musical backgrounds including pop, opera,
gospel, R&B, soul, jazz and musical theatre were pursing
successful solo corers, from singing at Carnegie Hall
and for the Pope to a #1 radio single. After being hired
to work on a project together, the men realized that they
possessed a strong chemistry both on-stage and off. And
with that, DESTINO was born. DESTINO's style has been
described as "pop with an opera flair" or vice-versa.
Born out of a desire to bring opera music to a wider audience,
the style has been dubbed "popera" and is currently
sweeping the musical charts, with singers such as Andrea
Bocelli, Josh Groban and II Divo selling millions of CDs
worldwide. With the formation of DESTINO, "popera"
now has Canadian representation. DESTINO's members have
received much critical and media acclaim. Insight Magazine
said, "Joey Niceforo has one of the most robust and
exciting voices I've heard in a long time. He's riveting
on stage" Said the Surrey Leader about Leontaridis,
A voice like Leon's comes once in a hundred years. And
the Victoria Times said, "Ouellette displays an impressive
ability to imbue a song with emotion."
