Halifax’s favourite bombastic, big-bearded bard returns to Symphony Nova Scotia! This time, the one and only Ben Caplan teams up with local classical/jazz pianist Silvio Pupo to belt out the beautiful boleros of Cuba. Seamlessly combining Caribbean rhythms and classical influences with Ben’s brilliant vocals (and fluency in Spanish!), this one-of-a-kind mash-up is sure to be another splendid musical adventure with one of Canada’s most charismatic and compelling performers. Plus, Ben sits down with host Suzanne Lemieux to answer your previously submitted questions!
