Although Beckow’s compositions have been performed on stage thousands of times, her music was never professionally recorded until now. Join us in celebration of Beckow's unsung legacy, through a live performance honoring the release of this debut, yet posthumous album, and through the preview screening of documentary, UNSUNG: The Joan Beckow Story.
Live performance under music-direction duo Wendy Bross Stuart and Jessica Stuart will display a cross-section of Beckow’s work, from comedy to soul-stirring liturgical pieces, and will feature 30 top musicians from across Canada, including lauded 20-member youth show choir, Perry Ehrlich’s Showstoppers.
The Chutzpah! Festival’s live music programming is supported by AmplifyBC.
