Quadra Cultural Committee presents an unusual blend of classical and jazz, performed on piano and clarinet with the addition of technical brilliance, musical imagination and a captivating stage presence.
You won’t find a more entertaining way to spend a Sunday afternoon than with the Wolak/Donnelly Duo at the Quadra Community Centre on Sunday, March 23 at 2:30 p.m.
New generation musicians, Kornel Wolak (extraordinary clarinettist and Quarteto Gelato alumnus) and Chris Donnelly (pianist, composer and creative improviser) have teamed up to present a musical blend that spans the genres, from Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major to Oscar Peterson’s classic Hymn to Freedom. They’re funny, they’re virtuosic, they’re passionate! Wolak and Donnelly have captivated audiences across Canada.

Canadian-born pianist and composer Chris Donnelly holds a Masters of Music Degree in Jazz Performance and currently teaches at the University of Toronto. Wolak and Donnelly have just released their first recording “Common Ground.”
