House of
Halloween
SUNDAY
OCTOBER 31 I 2:00 PM
"It was without a doubt one of the best
we have ever attended! The music is
always wonderful, but we so enjoyed
Frank Oden."
– Patron
Frank Oden writes and performs lyrical
concert programs merging original poetry,
humour, education, and theatrical
production values with a live symphonic
performance. He began creating this
unique form in collaboration on a series of
Halloween concerts, resulting in the House
of Halloween. Frank Oden's spooky
Halloween poems are fun, funny and
simply enchanting for even the youngest
listeners. Oden performs with linguistic
bravado; he is a verbal stunt man with a
uniquely theatrical style – combining the
power of a Shakespearean actor, the
presence of a great magician and the
physicality of a Warner Brothers cartoon.
CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN!
Come to the concert in costume
and be eligible to win prizes!
