Soldiers and Secrets
In honour of upcoming Remembrance Day, we launch our festival with a co-production with INNERchamber, where music punctuates the words from Tim Cook’s new book, The Secret History of Soldiers. The stories in this book offer a glimpse into the inner lives of Canadian soldiers seeking relief from the horrors of the trenches. Actor Tim Campbell joins the Factory Arts String Quartet in bringing these stories to light, with music by Shostakovich, Elgar, and additional selections from the wartime era.
