Soprano Karita Mattila, star of the world’s foremost opera houses, and cellist Anssi Karttunen play a piece composed especially for them: the magically surreal Mirage by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. Mattila adds a Sibelius tone poem inspired by Finnish mythology, and Karttunen performs Schelomo, a passionate piece portraying the wise Hebrew king, Solomon. The concert concludes with Ravel’s La Valse which the composer decribed as “… a sort of apotheosis of the Viennese waltz… the mad whirl of some fantastic and fateful carousel.”

The government has set March 18 as the last day for 35 year amortizations. This means Lenders will likely stop accepting applications for 35 year amortizations in advance of the March 18 cut off. Approved deals that close after March 18 can still have 35 year amortizations as long as the deal is approved by CMHC/Genworth prior to the date (assuming the lender accepts the deal). Call us if you want to find out how you can benefit from this change. Time is running out.
