Part reading, part concert, this performance features a string quartet playing original music and creating live sound effects to accompany the classic text.Tom Allen (host of CBC Radio's Shift) narrates Dickens' iconic story. He has been hosting readings of the book for decades, but this year is collaborating with Guild Festival Theatre to bring it online.
Also performing is Scarborough's premiere string ensemble, Odin Quartet, (Resident Ensemble of the Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra) who are not only playing musical accompaniment, but also creating live sound effects to bring the story to life. The original score was created by Alex Eddington (Toronto Consort, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Scarborough Philharmonic) whose musical arrangements enchanted audiences during GFT's 2019 production of Anne.
