***With guest artists*** [***Tom Allen***](https://www.londonsymphonia.ca/tomallen) ***and*** [***Lori Gemmell***](https://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-music/faculty-profiles/lori-gemmell/index.html)

This Hallowe’en, CBC “About Time” host **Tom Allen** and harpist **Lori Gemmell** join London Symphonia as visitors to the grotesque world of Edgar Allan Poe.

Tom most recently joined London Symphonia as the jovial host and resident poet for *Carnival of the Animals* and *The Hockey Sweater.* This time, he reveals a seldom exposed darker side as he ushers us into the delicious cerebral torment of Poe’s mystical romanticism.

This concert features *The Raven* by Canadian legend Alexina Louie and André Caplet’s *Conte Fantastique* (inspired by Poe’s *The Masque of Red Death*), along with excerpts from Claude Debussy’s mysterious and powerful String Quartet.

**Program**

*The Raven* by Alexina Louie   
*Conte Fantastiqu*e by André Caplet  
*String Quartet in G Minor, Op. 10* by Claude Debussy
