Sudbury's Jubilee Folk Ensemble presents an afternoon of music and poetry, Sunday. Jan. 31.

The community orchestra, conducted by Oryst Sawchuk, will perform and complement the words of poets Robert Burns, Pablo Neruda, Taras Shevchenko and Walt Whitman. I am delighted to be involved with this event and work with these talented people.

The afternoon performance, which will start at 2 pm will be hosted by Sudbury poet Roger Nash. Poets will be performed by Ron Tough (Burns), Alex Martinez (Neruda), Wilfred Szczesny (Shevchenko) and John Lindsay (Whitman).

The poets selected for this special event are well known for their contributions to their homelands and the world.

Tickets for Four Poets Who Changed the World are $10. There will be complimentary refreshments.  (I am in charge of refreshments.) Tickets will be available at the door at the Jubilee Centre on Applegrove St.
