Joyride

Presented by the Brockville Concert Association

Colin Maier (oboe, saw, vocals, from Quartetto Gelato) & Mark Camilleri (pianist and music director for The Tenors) are “Joyride”, a fun show of jazz, funk, ragtime, Celtic, klezmer and more.  Colin and Mark’s mastery and versatility in a smorgasbord of styles has Colin switching from oboe, to pennywhistle, to voice, and even the saw in a high-energy romp that shows off their taste for fun. From Minnie the Moocher (with audience participation), to “Air on a Blue String” (a nod to JS Bach), to Chick Corea’s “Spain” and Piazzolla’s heartrending “Tanti Anni Prima”, they pepper their show with hilarious anecdotes and have a blast playing “Stump the Chump” (Mark creates a new song on the spot from random notes provided by members of the audience). 

JoyRide has performed across Ontario and in the US. Their CD “JoyRide” has been broadcast around the world: “Ridiculous, virtuosic, outside-the-box fun … It takes a lot of nerve to make music as amusing as JoyRide’s” (New York Music Daily).

“The audience was enthralled and dizzy with these supermen of music!” (Eden Mills Community Club)
