Rare musical delights
Vhikthor Vhølkhen and Leo Marchildon in concert
The vocal talents of counter-tenor Vhikthor Vhølkhen will be on full display on September 20 at 1 pm, when he teams up with organist Leo Marchildon at St. Dunstan’s Basilica in Charlottetown to present an afternoon of rare musical delights.
Vhølkhen will be singing selections from the world of opera, including the works of Wagner, Brahms, and Richard Strauss, along with songs by Francesco Sartori, Juan Gabriel and Armando Manzanero. Marchildon will balance out the program with organ transcriptions of select operatic showpieces.
It is anticipated that mezzo-soprano Sylvia Mutch will also be in attendance and grace the audience with a few solos and perhaps a duet or two with Vhølkhen.
This concert will last about an hour and admission is by donation.
