The Spirit & the Dust, feat. Beverley Johnston
Walter Hall, 80 Queens Park
Toronto, ON, Canada
12pm
“Dinuk has effectively captured the vastly varied tone colours of the marimba in his evocative piece ‘The Spirit and the Dust’. Written in memory of my late nephew Cameron Thomas Haynes, each movement breathtakingly explores the never ending mysteries of life and death. This truly is a marimba masterpiece” – Beverley Johnston
