Mission Hill Family Estate is pleased to host an outdoor concert by Quebec recording artists Similia.
On Sunday, August 12 2007, guests at the winery's amphitheatre will enjoy an evening performance of sublime classical music. A special dinner package is offered for the occasion, combining the sensory delights of fine wine, excellent cuisine, and music.
Twin sisters Nadia and Annie Labrie play the flute and guitar, respectively. They are known for their masterly interpretations of classical pieces, but they also include Latin American music and contemporary compositions in their extensive repertoire. Recording under the name Similia they have released four albums to excellent reviews. Their debut recording, Nota del Sol, was awarded the ADISQ's Prix Félix for Best Instrumental Album of the Year (2004). Since that time they have earned great critical praise and growing international acclaim. Nadia has been a featured soloist with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the Orchestre symphonique de l'Estuaire, and has toured Asia, Europe, and North America as a member of the Orchestre Mondial des Jeunesses Musicales. She was awarded the Governor General's Academic Medal in recognition of her outstanding work as a post-secondary student. Annie received a grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and debuted as a soloist with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal in 2001. Performing as Similia, the sisters' concerts have been broadcast by the Société Radio-Canada and CBC Radio. Similia performed in Japan during the world EXPO 2005 at Aichi and was selected to represent Canada at the World EXPO 2005.
The concert hosted by Mission Hill Family Estate will provide a unique opportunity to enjoy a performance by Simila in an unrivalled natural setting. The natural grass outdoor amphitheatre provides a stunning view of the Monashee Mountains and Lake Okanagan, sure to enchant audiences on a fine summer evening.
Mission Hill Family Estate is also offering a special dinner package to celebrate the occasion. The package includes a three-course dinner at the winery's award-winning Terrace restaurant paired with matching wines from the winery's renowned cellars.
