Musicians in Hamilton
Hamilton has a rich tradition of music from its earliest days.
A particular geography leads to a particular harmony. Something in the air resonates in a voice; a string. The pace of a city is its tempo. George Washington Johnson's poem “When You and I Were Young Maggie” was set to music and first recorded in 1905 and later sung by everyone from Enrico Caruso to Gene Autry. Richard Newell took himself to New Orleans where he worked with Alan Toussaint, The Meters, and Dr. John. Boris Brott is one of the most internationally recognized Canadian conductors. The Hungarian Ministry of Culture awarded pianist Valerie Tryon the Ferenc Liszt Medal of Honour. From folk coffee houses to concert stages, Hamilton has a tremendous musical presence, past and present.
