2007 Classical Artists of the Year


Congratulations to baritone Christopher Bowman (’01), and pianist David Chafe who won the 2007 Classical Artists of the Year at the MUSICNL Awards in St. John’s for their new classical CD, Over Hill and Valley.

This beautiful recording features two English song cycles: "Songs of Travel" by Ralph Vaughan Williams (based on the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson) and "Earth and Air and Rain" by Gerald Finzi (based on the poetry of Thomas Hardy).

Over Hill and Valley is the first collaborative recording project for David and Christopher who have been great friends and have performed together since meeting at the Memorial University School of Music in 2004 as students of the School's Master of Music program.

They also appeared live at the MUSICNL Awards Show at the St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre this past Sunday evening.
