Live at Chautauqua
2014/15 Season Coming Soon
We’re really looking forward to our line up of concerts, workshops and residencies starting in September 2014 – we’ll be touring the South for the first time in addition to returning to the West Coast, Rockies, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, East Coast and (way) up North! Keep an eye on our calendar as we’ll be posting dates over the next few weeks…
Front Page Feature in the Telegraph Herald
The Telegraph Herald caught wind of Shawn and Maria’s 20-concert, tri-state residency hosted by the Dubuque Arts Council and featured it on their front page! Read the full story or check out their video with interview & performance clips. (Article & video by Mary Nevans-Pederson / photos by Jessica Reilly)

On Tour – Cape Breton, NS
Great review in the Washington Post!
“Wonderfully imaginative,” “smile-inducing,” “impressive” and “designed to entertain” – just some of what Stephen Brookes of The Washington Post had to say about Sonic Escape’s performance & original works! Click the logo for the full review.

Smiling in Sarnia
Our streak of playing for AWESOME Ontario audiences continues! We’ve now performed in Toronto, Ottawa, Clarendon, Ingersoll, Elora, Sioux Lookout, Kenora and, just last night, Sarnia. Thanks to the Sarnia Concert Association for reminding us we’ve gotta move here! Click the pic for a full-size view.
Interview with the Sarnia Observer
Paul Morden of the Sarnia Observer recently interviewed Shawn about Sonic Escape’s love affair with all things Ontario. Keep an eye out for the premiere of our vocal/instrumental rendition of The Log Driver’s Waltz – a Canadian folk favourite – this coming Wednesday at the Imperial Theatre in Sarnia!
Our view of the concert
A mid-concert photo op with the wonderful audience in Mathews, VA! Thank you to Concerts by the Bay and sound engineer, George, for a delightful afternoon. It’s always a pleasure to perform when the sound and company are great! Click the pic for a full-size view.
Debut of the Skiing Flutist
We’ve experienced a lot of winter storms on the East Coast of late and, rather than grumble about it, decided to pack our skis, flute & camera and head to Vermont! A few tips:
- Downhill speed ≠ getting a sound
- Stick to the top octave (preferably with one hand to get in some dance moves)
- Below freezing temperatures might get you stuck to your flute
- Stop playing and throw the flute if you’re going to crash!
Hope you enjoy the video 🙂
