Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra - TITANIC: COMMEMORATION CONCERT
The sinking of the RMS Titanic, in 1912, was a catastrophic event which has since passed into myth and legend. On April 27th, 2024, the CMO will be marking the 112th anniversary of the loss of the largest ship of its time. The Titanic’s failure to live up to its unsinkable expectations marked the end of the Edwardian period and the passing of the age of innocence. The CMO has chosen a special program of music to commemorate the loss of the great ship, and the 1500 souls who did not survive its sinking.
Madison Mailey is a Canadian soprano based in Vancouver, Canada. She has graced numerous stages in Boston, Massachusetts studying and performing at the esteemed New England Conservatory of Music. Her repertoire includes a wide range of composers varying from the classical and romantic music of Mozart, Schubert and Brahms to the dazzling lights of Broadway. Most recently, Madison has enchanted audiences with the Paragon Singers, a distinguished choir directed by Lars Kaario of North Vancouver.
In 2023 Madison was inducted into the Northeastern University Hall of Fame. This honour was realized for her appearance on many stages …including the Olympic Podium! Mailey is an internationally acclaimed athlete, finishing her Rowing career as an Olympic Champion at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. Today, Madison is both a ScotiaMcleod Wealth Advisor and Keynote Speaker, using her NEU Business Degree and these glorious life experiences to help guide clients in achieving their own life and financial goals.
Madison is delighted to make her second appearance with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra. She also has fond childhood memories competing on this very stage at the Kiwanis Music Festival accompanied by her grandfather, Dr. H. Derrick Rogers on piano! Both Madison’s Grandparents served and performed with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra and Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra; they are her inspiration for performing here tonight, and she is thankful for their lifetime of loving support and, this wonderful opportunity on the stage with the CMO.
Two years in the planning, this is a very special program with narration, a solo soprano vocalist, Chorale, visuals and of course the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, your community orchestra. We also will be holding our second Silent Auction with handmade quilts, and other treats.
