Our streak of playing for AWESOME Ontario audiences continues!  We’ve now performed in Toronto, Ottawa, Clarendon, Ingersoll, Elora, Sioux Lookout, Kenora and, just last night, Sarnia.  Thanks to the Sarnia Concert Association for reminding us we’ve gotta move here!  (Click the pic for a full-size view.)

Paul Morden of the Sarnia Observer recently interviewed Shawn about Sonic Escape’s love affair with all things Ontario.  Keep an eye out for the premiere of our vocal/instrumental rendition of The Log Driver’s Waltz – a Canadian folk favourite – this coming Wednesday at the Imperial Theatre in Sarnia!

A mid-concert photo op with the wonderful audience in Mathews, VA!  Thank you to Concerts by the Bay and sound engineer, George, for a delightful afternoon.  It’s always a pleasure to perform when the sound and company are great!  (Click the pic for a full-size view.)

We’ve experienced a lot of winter storms on the East Coast of late and, rather than grumble about it, decided to pack our skis, flute & camera and head to Vermont!  A few tips:

1. Downhill speed ≠ getting a sound
2. Stick to the top octave (preferably with one hand to get in some dance moves)
3. Below freezing temperatures might get you stuck to your flute
4. Stop playing and throw the flute if you’re going to crash!

Hope you enjoy the video

The 2014 Composers Now Festival begins today, and Sonic Escape is proud to be taking part!  Maria recently went on camera to discuss her composition process, encourage aspiring composers and invite audiences to Sonic Escape’s Festival performance at Wave Hill.  Click the link above for more information about tomorrow’s concert!

After a happy whirlwind month on the road, we got to enjoy some downtime and design our new site!  Now all those photos, videos and recordings from our travels & concerts have a home!!  We look forward to sharing our world with you… thanks for stopping by.
