They have dazzled audiences throughout Ontario and Atlantic Canada with performances marked by sensitivity, passion, and refinement. Their new CD release, “Invitation,” with works by Cardy, Poulenc, Khachaturian and Milhaud on Marquis Classics, is heard nationally on CBC Radio and has been praised by the WholeNote for its “tasteful style, courteous and elegant musicianship, and technical ease….” The album was recently nominated for the ECMA 2020 Classical Recording of the Year. Highly sought-after performers throughout Canada and beyond, Christine Carter, Nancy Dahn, and Tim Steeves are also inspiring educators on faculty at Memorial University of Newfoundland, who love sharing their joy of music-making with audiences of all ages, be it in concert halls, community centres, or schools.
