UNews - Dale Ketcheson

Faculty Artists & Friends Series a real treat

trevor.kenney — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:25:09 +0000

With concerts that range from a spellbinding performance of Russian post-Romantic music to an internationally renowned violist and contemporary chamber music performed by Montreal’s In Extensio, the Faculty Artists and Friends Series provides one of the most diverse music series in the city.

“We are featuring a nice mix of faculty performers and guest artists, including a number of exciting collaborations,” says Dr. Paul Sanden, organizing committee member. “For instance, long-time Lethbridge musician and faculty member, Dale Ketcheson, is presenting an evening of music featuring several of his musical friends and collaborators from the community on Oct. 19. On Dec. 6, music department Chair Dr. Deanna Oye performs with 2013 U of L honourary degree recipient and violist, Rivka Golani, in a special fundraising concert in support of student scholarships."

Taken as a whole, the Faculty Artists and Friends Series offers audiences an incredibly diverse range of musical experiences this year.

“One of the greatest strengths of this series is that it brings to Lethbridge a musical diversity hard to find elsewhere. While each concert is incredibly rewarding in and of itself, the entire series of five concerts offers listeners an even richer and deeper musical experience,” says Sanden.

Tickets for Faculty Artists and Friends Series concerts are available at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Box Office.

Denton Fredrickson (Art) and Catherine Ross (Art Technician) have been awarded the Public Art commission for the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Applications were received from around the world and the selection committee consisted of representatives from the Allied Arts Council and the SAAG, a community member, an artist and a technical expert. Ross and Fredrickson proposed to create a giant stringed instrument responsive to the day-to-day wind and light levels in Lethbridge. Visually, the installation reflects a flock of birds both at rest and in flight, appearing to move seamlessly from exterior to interior. The work should be installed by fall 2011.

Sensuality kicks off Faculty Artist and Friends Series

trevor.kenney — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:24:25 +0000

The heat in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall will go up several degrees with the Faculty Artist and Friends first concert of the season, Tango~Waltz~Tango, on Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. Sizzling melodies, hot rhythms and rich instrumentation will get audience hearts pounding and toes tapping.

"There's been a revival of these dances in popular culture recently," Dr. Deanna Oye, Faculty Artist and Friends Series coordinator and music faculty, says. "The spirit of these two dances compliment each other nicely – both are elegant, but tell different stories. The waltz is amorous, while the tango is boldly passionate."

"The etudes of Astor Piazzolla are performed by a jazz ensemble featuring tenor saxophonist, Dr. David Renter," Oye adds.

The finale of Le Cumparsita, a tango of the 1900s, will also dazzle audiences. As well, a unique arrangement of the Liebeslieder Waltzes by Brahms for piano duo and vocal quartet is on the program.

This year's Faculty Artist and Friends Series highlights the talents and musicianship of U of L music faculty and their guests.

Dale Ketcheson inspires audiences with his classical guitar pieces on Nov. 7.

On Jan. 30, 2010 a celebration of great composers will present a program of music from masters Schumann and Chopin, on the occasion of their 200th birthdays.

The final concert in the series, An American in Paris, features the U of L Faculty Brass Quintet, consisting of Trudi Mason (trumpet), Keith Griffioen (trumpet), Dr. Thomas Staples (horn), Gerald Rogers (trombone) and Nick Sullivan (bass trombone). The concert, on April 17, 2010, includes a mélange of French-inspired music and American blues.

Season tickets for the series are available at a 25 per cent discount – simply put, buy three get one free. Individual tickets are $15 for regular admission and $10 student/senior. The season ticket price is four performances for $45 regular and $30 student/senior.

Season tickets are available through Oct. 3 from the Box Office (404-329-2616).

Music of the 1930s gives glimpse of past

trevor.kenney — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:46:25 +0000

Classical, jazz and folk/popular music spanned the social divide of the 1930s, from music of the wealthy to music of the Depression's dispossessed. These are featured during Music of the 1930s on May 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lethbridge Public Library.

Presented by the U of L Music Department, performers are music students and faculty, including Dr. David Renter and his students in a jazz quintet, Bente Hansen (piano), Nick Sullivan (trombone), Anna Young (soprano), Bruce Streibel (violin) and Dale Ketcheson (guitar). As well, several student and faculty singers directed by Dr. Blaine Hendsbee and accompanied by Greg Knight will be featured.

The first half of the concert reproduces a soiree in an upper-class salon, while the second half features music of the depression and Jazz era. The evening starts at 7:30 p.m. with a pre-concert talk and readings from Lethbridge Herald newspapers from the 1930s about local news and social events.

Admission to the concert is free and everyone is welcome.
