Vancouver Cantata Singers present ROAM with tap dancer Danny Nielsen, March 1
Program inspired by travel features folk songs from the U.K., Nordic countries, North America, and South America
Join the Vancouver Cantata Singers for ROAM as they perform music and folk songs from the U.K., Nordic countries, North America, and South America at the Annex on March 1 at 7:30 pm.
Celebrating the spirit of roaming and wonder, this program will feature a repertoire of kaleidoscopic works related to love, travel, and dance. Vancouver-based tap dancer Danny Nielsen will accompany the singers with a live tap performance.
Originally from Calgary, Nielsen began his rhythm-tap career as a founding member of M.A.D.D. Rhythms Canada under the direction of Lisa La Touche. He previously held the role of artist-in-residence with the Vancouver Tap Dance Society and is a recipient of the Scotiabank Dance Centre’s Santa Aloi Award. He has toured extensively both as a solo artist and with Shay Kuebler’s Radical System Art in Telemetry.
Tickets to ROAM are available through the Vancouver Cantata Singers.
