Lecture-Recital: The WWI Songs of Gordon V. Thompson

Gordon V. Thompson was one of Canada's most successful music publishers, but he was also a songwriter whose hit WWI songs bring to life how everyday Canadians at home experienced the progress of the war. Join Dr. Laurel Parsons, UVic School of Music theory instructor and Thompson's granddaughter, with soprano Anna Shill and friends, for this lively lecture-recital.
