All Eyes On Luminato Now!
I would be remiss
if I failed to make a colorful
mention as well as "plug"
for LUMINATO
an event I can truly consider
a "brother" to the Luminous Blog
(or at least some undefined
kinship is definitely there -
somewhere...!)
No tomayto/tomahto
Luminato/Luminous Luciano
analogies, this year...
No...
Just a list of contemporaries
that I could dub
"luminous artists"
and "luminous minds"
who will be a part
of this year's Luminato -
a festival of luminescence
in arts, primarily,
it is after all...!
"Dan Zanes and Friends

"Exploring the Science of Music
at the Ontario Science Centre
Saturday, June 14, 10:30am
In partnership with
the Ontario Science Centre,
Luminato will offer
an interactive workshop
where families will experiment
with unusual materials
to explore the science of soundwaves,
frequencies and vibrations,
and hear Dan perform
a few of his signature songs
(free with admission to
the Ontario Science Centre).
Following the workshop,
Dan Zanes will also engage
with other areas of the Science Centre
through informal and interactive
family sing-a-longs."

Now THAT is what I call
being LUMINOUS!
Not for anyone to think that
Luminato is just
the "Dan Zanes show"...!
Other luminaries present include
the world famous
Count Basie Orchestra,
the incomparable
Molly Johnson,
Marika Bournaki,
Luke Doucet,
Ron Sexsmith,
Kim Stockwood,
Karen David
and many more!
PLUS:
free events
moderated by
luminaries such as
poetess Jane Urquhart -
this cannot be beat!
Long Live Luminato!
In T.O.
and in our hearts!
Way past June 15th!
