Richard Tyce in Tribute Concert, British Colombia – Canadaby Rob Howard |
Canadian singer and accordionist Richard Tyce performs in ’Tribute to Jussi Björling’ - an open air concert (under tent!), honouring the great Swedish tenor, on Sunday June 21st, 4pm, at the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival in Burnaby, B.C. The venue is the Scandinavian Community Centre, 6540 Thomas Street., Burnaby, B.C. Jussi Björling, who died in 1960, was a tenor who succeeded Caruso to the heights of super-stardom. Richard Tyce says: “I will be singing pieces that Jussi Björling's silvery voice was known for, like ‘Torna a Surriento’, and excerpts from French opera, like Massenet's ‘Manon’. And we won't leave out the famous ‘Pearl Fishers Duet’. My accordion might even come out of its case!” For further information email: richardtyce@shaw.ca |
