At 8:30 PM Saturday March 26th, 2011, a sudden hush descended on the crowded audience in the near darkness of Rose Theatre. Guest conducter Sabatino Vacca stepped onto stage with confidence and coat tails as he greeted the audience and began the business of music. The Brampton Arts Council Board and staff were on hand at
Brampton Symphony Orchestra’s annual Earth Hour concert at the Rose Theatre to present this year’s Leon Argamasilla Bacardi Award of Excellence and enjoy the BSO’s musical talents. The Brampton Arts Council is also a sponsor of the Earth Hour concerts. Drawing young and old, the BSO commemorates Tschaikowsky while also celebrating the importance of the international Earth Hour phenomenon by turning off Rose Theatre’s lights for the first half of their concert. After intermission, the Brampton Arts Council formally presented hip hop dancer Jendayi Dyer with the Bacardi award. You can find out more about her
