Epic Elton, fronted by Jeff Scott of Richmond Hill, Ontario, is the latest opportunity to be wowed in Manitoba's and North Dakota's shared gem in the Turtle Mountains. Elton John's style and overall presence will be channeled through one of his most-lauded tribute acts at the International Peace Garden on Sept. 23.
Elton John is among the top-10 living artists that I regret not making a greater effort to see live. He is one of those performers where you probably recognize 30 more songs that percolate through popular culture decade after decade.
Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Crocodile Rock! When I hear many of the hits, I'm transported back to the cassette days, listening to rock legends like Elton John on countless car rides with my dad to the grocery store, school, church, ball games.
When you live and work at the International Peace Garden you are surrounded by talented musicians every summer and know a good show when it's coming. Epic Elton will cap a beautiful Peace Garden fall afternoon where visitors will see a stunning colour change through the aspen forest, oak, larch and maple stands.
Although summer is coming to a close, we invite you to continue enjoying our grounds and the intersection of the arts and culture with nature's serene and wild surroundings.
A buffet in the Conservatory will run from 4:30 to 6:30, followed by doors opening at the acoustically rich Burdick Center for the Performing Arts. The Burdick Center is one of the finest arts performance spaces in the Upper Plains and hosts seven weeks of International Music Camp and the many talented artists that perform, teach and study on site every summer.
