Composer Luna Pearl Woolf and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek bring to life the story of the fiercely talented teenage cellist who defied all odds to become the best in the world, only to face a terrifying fight with a mysterious illness at the height of her fame.

"What an absolute joy to create this piece for Tapestry. Writing the role of Jacqueline for Marnie Breckinridge, one of my all-time favourite singer-collaborators, and Matt who I’ve been a big fan of for the longest time, could not have been more inspiring. Luna has written a beautiful, colourful, dramatic score and Michael has invested the work with the most thoughtful and electric dramaturgy and direction. This is nothing short of a dream project!" Jacqueline is the first Canadian commission for Concordia alumnus and Pulitzer Prize winner, Royce Vavrek (@rvavrek), following regular successes in New York and across the world.
