Andrew Lloyd Webber is arguably the most successful composer of our time; his music encompasses a blend of musical genres ranging from classical to rock, pop, jazz with the inclusion of electro-acoustic music & choral-like numbers in his musicals. Juxtaposed with his melodic pop-oriented style, this concert will feature his Grammy award winning Requiem, a more complex, sophisticated and at times austere form of this great composer's work. From the beautifully captivating notes of Louie's 'soaring birds' to the power and finesse of Holst's most famous work; these pieces will take you on a journey to the upper atmosphere; the flight of birds, past the rising sun and beyond, into the galactic majesty of Holst's The Planets. Gifted local artists to display their interpretations of the solar system. "Sgt. Pepper" was described as "a historic departure in the progress of music" and was the first example of pop music being elevated to the level of fine art. "Abbey Road" was the Beatles' last studio album, but may be the group at their very best, with unparalleled playing and songwriting sophistication.

He acknowledges medical school has been difficult at times for his family, especially for hisfor his family, especially for hisf children who are now aged 10 and 8. But, he says, he knows in his heart it was the right decision, and notes they are coming around to the idea of him becom- ing a doctor. "Sometimes I know they still wish they were at their other school, where I was a teacher, but my daughter, in particular, talks about how proud she is of me," he says. "That means a lot. They are also thankful they don't have to move for my residency." Carr also recognizes the ongo- ing support of his mother and his wife's parents, and the inspira- tion of his late father, a pediatric psychiatrist, as key to his suc- cessful transition. Inspired by the team environ- ment of teachers and administra- tors he worked with in Oakville, Carr says he would like to be- come part of an interdisciplinary primary care team in the Toronto area. He's also interested in ex- ploring palliative care and emer- gency medicine under the um- brella of family medicine. Carr was one of 208 physicians who graduated from the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at the convocation on Thursday, May 24. Among those cheering for him in the crowd were his wife and kids, as well as his mother. While teaching made a signif- icant detour on his journey to be- coming a doctor, Carr says he wouldn't change a thing. "I feel exceptionally lucky," he says. "Some people don't find one job they find satisfying let alone two. I have had the opportunity to experience both of my passions. "I am so excited to be starting residency and incredibly grate- ful to McMaster for giving meful to McMaster for giving mef this opportunity." ARTS lContinued from page 45 Carr confident he made right life-changing decision Entertaining Shorts, six short plays all written by local artists, will be performed this weekend as part of The Burloak Theatre Group's 2017-18 season.

WHAT'S ON Entertaining Shorts at Black Box Theatre KEVIN NAGEL knagel@metroland.com body movements are to be prop- er. Actors have to keep in mind that, while on stage, they must stand up straight, and avoid shrugging their shoulders or crossing their arms. "It's just been a huge way of changing my thinking on how acting really works. I'm used to being grounded in today's world, and to move backward like this has been very challeng- ing but also very rewarding," said Whelan.

The production premiered May 31 at Oakville's West End Studio Theatre, 1109 North Ser- vice Rd. E. and continues for the next two weekends, including June 7-9 and 14-16.

The show is categorized as a tragedy and features explosive performances with confronta- tional, devastating and more delicate scenes. Director Paul Groulx men- tioned he had been a fan of the script for years and decided he wanted to bring it to life. "The performances are won- derful and (the audience) will certainly, truly enjoy it," he said. "It's a very passionate, dra- matic and intimate telling of a marriage." When the play first came out in the 1800s, it was a controver- sial piece that dealt with femi- nism. With the theme still prominent in today's society, the production is a powerful piece that begins in a pictur- esque world, where things slow- ly begin to change for the char- acters. With the aged script, audi- ence members should keep in mind that the show is a period piece. The language is based around old-time English and Oakville's West End Studio puts a modern-day twist of femi- nism with its rendition of A Doll's House. The theatre production brings to life the story of a housewife, who finds herself in- debted to someone financially. After her husband gets a pro- motion, she struggles to pay back the money she owes with- out her husband finding out.
