HENRI'S CONCERT REPERTOIRE is reflective of his CDs. The selections are familiar, never failing to evoke special memories for the audience. Through his interpretation of the music, his interaction with the audience and his relaxed stage presence, he totally captivates his listeners. Some of his most memorable concerts have been fundraisers for Change for Children and Rainbow of Hope, passions’ of Alphonse Gerwing, which also took them to Germany to perform. In summer 2007, Henri had the honour of performing for Alphonse with his son Colin (who is following in his fathers footsteps and well on his way to becoming a great singer).
Henri’s musical journey has given him the opportunity to work with the best accompanists. Bonnie Nicholson, who has been a wonderful friend and influence, has toured extensively with Henri and accompanies him on his current CDs. He has also performed many times with Martin Janovsky and will be collaborating on a new CD with Martin. Working with children’s choirs is also very high on Henri’s list of accomplishments; the Saskatoon Children’s Choir, who also took part on his Christmas CD, the Moose Jaw Children’s Choir, the Calgary Girl’s Choir, the Saskatoon Choraliers and the North Battleford Children’s Choir. In July 2006, Henri travelled with Kamala Youth Choir to Provence, France where they had the great pleasure of performing in cathedrals hundreds of years old. The Kamale Youth Choir is also on his new CDs, Encore and Hymne Au Printemps. |
