“OK Factor” concert at MacPhail June 28th at 7:00pm. Givens Violins is sponsoring this OK Factor performance and workshop. Karla Dietmeyer, violin, and Olivia Dierks, cello, are a progressive-folk duo. The event includes a performance by The OK Factor and collaborative workshop on musicianship and performance practice. They are incredible and great fun and we’re not saying that just because Olivia works at Givens Violins.

The SPCO used 8 of Andrew Dipper’s baroque bows for their concerts the week of May 27. The concert was all Baroque music by Handel and Dowland. The sound of the ensemble combined beautifully with the voice of Soprano Joelle Harvey. Andrew was “chuffed” with all the accolades from the performers and audience.
