The Lorenzo Society is happy to remind you of the Weekly Wednesday Concert Series in honour of Dr. Li-Hong Xu continuing this Wednesday, March 22nd.
Sebastian Fleet began playing the viola at four before eventually falling in love with the guitar. Performing professionally since his teenage years, Sebastian received scholarships to study jazz guitar in Toronto with later stops in Montreal. Since returning home, Sebastian has been in various collaborations (Usse, The Exhortations, Owen Steel) with the most active bands being the Jazz Loyalty Program and the Seb Fleet Band. Sebastian has taught ukulele, bass and guitar at Long & McQuade for several years. Along with writing and producing his own music, teaching music has also been a joy.
Joining Sebastian will be Rebecca Dobbelsteyn. Rebecca is a professional musician in the Saint John area. She sings a variety of venues and events, ranging from solo performances on the Saint John Boardwalk to joining local band Jazz Loyalty Program at the Moonlight Bazaar and other regular performances. Rebecca teaches voice at Interaction Children’s Theatre, and has been featured on CBC Radio Information Morning to showcase her recently released EP Promenade.
The Lorenzo Society is excited to welcome Sebastian Fleet and Rebecca Dobbelsteyn as this week’s Wednesday musicians.

The 2023 Songwriter’s Intensive is a professional development opportunity for emerging and intermediate level songwriters in New Brunswick and is made possible by the generous support of the City of Fredericton.
With the pending release of his latest album Adrift, we are thrilled to have Andrew Sisk back this year as our lead songwriter. Andrew uses songwriting whenever he can: to shake off the darkness of winter, or mend a broken heart, to capture a beautiful moment, or to teach children. Songs have always been his work. Through the act of creating music, Sisk has built a life filled with lovely talented friends and collaborators while making joyful memories of recording music. His surreptitious career spanning 20+ years has lead to his songs appearing in Radio, Television, and film, as well as, having songs covered by other artists like songstress Christina Martin with Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor. Perhaps most notably his songs were recorded with the release of a tribute album, “We Have the Same Lights Overhead“(2013), by the Acadian Embassy label which featured many of his celebrated peers recording versions of his songs.
Most recently, Sisk composed the film score for the NFB Documentary short “Paula“. He was commissioned to perform a musical tribute to Canadian Poet Alden Nowlan for the 2020 Shivering Songs Music Festival as a multidisciplinary performance piece.
What to expect…
We will be hosting a one day workshop for emerging songwriters and another for intermediate level songwriters.
