Music Makers

"Music Makers examines and celebrates the extraordinary lives of composer Harry Freedman and soloist Mary Morrison, who were married for more than 50 years. Harry, with roots in jazz and popular music, was a member of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for 25 years. Canada's Composer of the Year in 1979, he has written an enormous repertoire that celebrates Canada and is sung and played around the world. After a stellar career in Canada as a popular singer and opera diva, Mary became an esteemed exponent of Canadian vocal works. She was a prestigious mentor and teacher of young Canadians now appearing on famous opera stages worldwide. This is the story of two first-rate musicians who stayed in Canada, even as many of their colleagues sought more lucrative careers south of the border, and helped to shape the cultural landscape of a nation."--Jacket.
