Showcase Description

A solo cello recital meets a clown show. But there's no red nose or parlor tricks here. This is the world of the jester; the truth teller. The show plays out like a piece of performance art blurring the lines of artistry, humanity, and insanity as the performer gives you a look into the world of the musician and the life of the person.

As a professional cellist and trained clown the caliber of music and performance of Suite No. 1 for Violoncello in G Major by JS Bach is world class. Australian Arts Review writes, "With its blend of humour, pathos, and undeniable skill, Delusions and Grandeur offers a refreshing take on the intersection of classical music and performance art, leaving the audience to reflect long after the final note has been played."

Delusions and Grandeur has performed in four countries on three continents. It received a sold-out six show run at the Vancouver Fringe Festival in 2022 and continues to delight audiences and win awards and critical acclaim worldwide.
