GRATITUDE
Westben is nestled amongst the gently rolling hills of the Gunshot Treaty lands and subsequent Williams Treaties of 1923, and the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Anishinaabeg near what is now known as Campbellford, Ontario. Our music-making is therefore in grateful recognition and appreciation of our Michi Saagiig friends whose music has filled these lands for generations.

CONCERT DESCRIPTION
Recorded live at The Barn on Sunday, September 12, 2021, the concert features favourite piano music of Ravel, Liszt, Schubert and Debussy including Clair de lune, the Sunken Cathedral, Jeux d’eau and more!

It hardly ever happens. But what do you do when an artist cancels the morning of the concert?
We called Philip Chiu! And even though he had to drive to Westben from Montreal a few short hours before concert time, Phil did it with a smile! Not only that, but he performed a dazzling classical piano recital that charmed an entire audience. Thankfully, videographer Stephen Dagg and recording engineer Andy Thompson were there to capture it all – the result: an incredible Digital Concert at The Barn, premiering on YouTube & our Digital Venue at 7:00 PM on November 5!
