My wife's side of the family live in Montreal, and we visit them quite often. We decided to go visit them this weekend, and left Toronto Friday night. On Saturday, my father-in-law pointed out a blurb in the Gazette newspaper that mentioned a free tuba recital taking place at Pollack Hall, in the Strathcona Music Building of McGill University. My wife and I decided to attend. We were treated to a lovely evening of piano-accompanied tuba selections, rendered by none other than Mr. Gene Pokorny.
Apparently he had been in Montreal, as a guest artist in residence at McGill since Thursday. He had given a Masterclass to a group of brass students on Friday afternoon.
I stuck around after the recital to express my appreciation and even got to shake the big man's hand.
This was certainly a case where the phrase "you get what you pay for" didn't apply!
