Tom Allen’s Playlist

A love letter to music, curated by Tom Allen

This time, the selections come from Tom Allen—a well-known radio broadcaster, passionate music lover, storyteller, trombonist, and writer—who brings his signature charm and deep musical insight to the stage. Expect a journey through the pieces that have shaped his artistic world, from timeless classics to unexpected gems.

The program features a rich blend of music, including Canadian works like Alexis le Trotteur by Jacques Hétu, Vivian Fung’s reflective Prayer, and John Estacio’s Frenergy. You’ll also hear elegant movements by Bach and Mozart that showcase the brilliance of the classical tradition and enjoy a special appearance by acclaimed Canadian violinist Kerson Leong, from Ottawa, bringing his captivating artistry to select pieces in the program.
