Listen in to CBC Radio 2’s This is My Music on Saturday, September 17 at 10am for a 2-hour musical journey hosted by violinist Mark Fewer. The broadcast date will coincide with Owen Sound’s SweetWater Music Festival, where Fewer is Artistic Director. A superbly versitile artist whose recent and upcoming concerts include world premieres, Early Music, jazz and many genres in between, Mark’s most recent recording features the arresting music of American composer and self-designated “Bad Boy of Music”, George Antheil. The recording, which features the world premiere of the composer’s Sonata for Violin Solo earned high praise from The Buffalo News: “Bravo isn’t enough … Try a good lusty Bravissimo for this disc, one of the most welcome classical discs of the year.”
