The Joan Beckow Legacy Project (Canada)

Not all creators get the spotlight they deserve during their lifetime. The Joan Beckow Legacy Project commemorates the musical works of prolific, brilliant, and under-celebrated composer Joan Beckow, who passed away at 88 in January 2021.

Although Beckow’s compositions have been performed on stage thousands of times, her music was never professionally recorded until now.  Join us in celebration of Beckow's unsung legacy, through a live performance honoring the release of this debut, yet posthumous album, and through the preview screening of documentary, UNSUNG: The Joan Beckow Story. 

Live performance under music-direction duo Wendy Bross Stuart and Jessica Stuart will display a cross-section of Beckow’s work, from comedy to soul-stirring liturgical pieces, and will feature 30 top musicians from across Canada, including lauded 20-member youth show choir, Perry Ehrlich’s Showstoppers.  

The Chutzpah! Festival’s live music programming is supported by AmplifyBC.
