SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMER Eleanor McCain

Having no less a luminary than producer David Foster declare “she’s going places,” Eleanor McCain has dazzled audiences with a voice Halifax’s The Chronicle-Herald declared “lovely, full, expressive.” From Florenceville-Bristol, New Brunswick, the triple ECMA-nominated classical crossover artist has recorded six albums and accompanied symphonies across Canada. In May 2017, Eleanor released her sixth studio album,  True North: The Canadian Songbook , which showcases 32 iconic Canadian songs that are interpreted through new arrangements by 14 arrangers, featuring 10 Canadian orchestras and 28 Canadian guest artists. An award-winning coffee table book accompanies the double CD, with song lyrics, behind-the-scenes photos, songwriters’ quotes, landscapes captured by 22 photographers and portraits by book co-curator V. Tony Hauser. Eleanor is also an active philanthropist and mother to Laura David, a Grade 11 student at Havergal College.
