Our annual Starry Night Concert for the start of advent will this year be presented by EMV's Duo Oriana and will feature Jonathan Stuchberry on lute and soprano Sinéad White.
The concert will be followed by a reception, entry by donation.
Soprano Sinéad White and lutenist Jonathan Stuchbery form Duo Oriana, a Toronto based duo
breathing life into song traditions that span centuries and evolve in the present day. Noted for
their “impeccable rhythmic ensemble” (La Scena Musicale), White’s “luminous” soprano, and
Stuchbery’s “energizing precision” (The Whole Note), they have quickly established their
presence in the early music world. They have presented across Canada, including for Early
Music America, and Musique Royale. Their album ‘How Like a Golden Dream’ was Duo
Oriana’s first release with the Canadian label Leaf Music, which was highlighted on the Whole
Note magazine’s “Listening Room”, and received highly positive reviews in La Scena Musicale,
the Lute Society Quarterly, and the American Record Guide. In 2023 they toured across the UK
and Ireland, performing for the Lute Society and in venues including Windsor Castle, and Oxford
University.
