I am sworn to secrecy as to what Kagan will be unveiling, but let’s
just say it has something to do with his extremely prized collection of albums,
cassettes, books, sound equipment and other memorabilia. The event will feature a retrospective of his
career and live music by Vanier’s third year improvisation ensemble.
Kagan provided entertainment for weddings, corporate and special
events. His services included disc-jockeys, orchestras, bands, classical and
jazz musicians, sound and lighting, décor and theme evenings. Over five decades
Sheldon Kagan International performed at thousands of functions and the company
produced over 75 major concerts bringing in artists such as Dionne Warwick, The
Commodores, Miles Davis, George Benson, Ravi Shankar, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene
Krupa, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Duke Ellington Orchestra, Buddy Rich and many
more. Kagan also has produced Le salon de Mariée wedding exhibition for the
past 35 years.
