Winds damage Patterson’s Creek Bridge trees

by John Dance

The Glebe’s iconic Patterson’s Creek Bridge has lost some of its Canal magic with the removal of its framing tree to the south and wind damage to the massive willow flanking the north side. The National Capital Commission will prune the damaged tree this fall and has planted more than 25 trees on their Patterson’s Creek lands to com- pensate for the loss of trees, including those that have succumbed to the emerald ash borer. “The National Capital Commission puts a lot of efforts into extending the life of the trees wherever possible in and near the Rideau Canal/Patterson Creek corridor,” NCC spokesperson Cédric Pelletier told the Glebe Report. “You’ll see many that have been carefully pruned to extend their lives.

by Margret B. Nankivell

Seventeen Voyces’ tremendous 2017– 2018 season will begin dramatically with a presentation of Franz Joseph Haydn’s stunning Mass in Time of War on Remembrance Day, Saturday, Nov- ember 11 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in the Glebe. Paired with the highly evocative work will be Kevin Reeves’ Somewhere in France: Love letters from the trenches, a multi- media event about the First World War. Kevin Reeves will conduct Haydn’s mass, which will be accompanied by a large orchestra that includes strings, woodwinds, trumpets, French horns and drums. Matthew Larkin’s new choir, the Caelis Academy Ensemble and a local quartet of superb singers – soprano Maghan McPhee, mezzo- soprano April Babey, tenor Dillon Parmer and baritone Joel Allison – will join the chamber choir. “The mass has every emotional flavour within the confines of the classical era,” says Reeves, artis- tic director of Seventeen Voyces. “It is a piece filled with hope, joy, con- templation and triumph, with terrific melodies and surprising harmonies.” “As the centenary of the First World War comes to an end next year, I thought this would make a fine Can- ada 150 project, coupled with the poignant story about how my grand- parents met as a result of the war,” The Seventeen Voyces 2017–2018 season will begin with Franz Joseph Haydn’s stunning Mass in Time of War on November 11 says Reeves.
