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.

An evening of lighthearted entertainment with the U of L Brass Quintet is in store for audiences attending the American in Paris concert, Saturday, Apr. 17 at 8 p.m. in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall.

This is the final concert of the season for the Faculty Artists and Friends series.

"The music featured is either French composed-American inspired, or American composed-French inspired," says Nick Sullivan, trombonist and music faculty. "The Brass Quintet is playing a transcription of Gershwin's American in Paris, with other offerings including selections from Porgy and Bess and Debussy's Gollywog's Cakewalk."

The U of L Brass Quintet is a relatively new ensemble to the Department of Music.

"We started the ensemble two years ago," says Sullivan. "We all love brass music, and with the support and talent of players at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and in the community, it seemed a perfect opportunity to come together and play some great brass chamber music."

Comprised of members Nick Sullivan, Dr. Thomas Staples, Trudi Mason, Gerald Rogers and Keith Griffioen, the U of L Brass Quintet was featured with the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra and with the Music at Noon concert series on campus.

In addition to the Brass Quintet, other friends are taking to the stage to continue the evening's French/American inspired program.

"Dr. Sandra Stringer and Elinor Lawson perform excerpts from the Aaron Copland's Emily Dickinson Songs and Peter Visentin is performing the Ravel Violin Sonata, the middle movement of which is inspired by Blues," says Dr. Brian Black, concert co-ordinator.

Tickets for this event are available from the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Box Office (403-329-2616), open Monday to Friday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $15 regular and $10 for students and seniors.

Classical duo celebrated

The musical event, "Schumann and Chopin: Hearts Alive at 200" on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall pays homage to Robert Schumann and Frederic Chopin by celebrating the timeless music these composers created during their lifetimes.

The year 2010 marks the bicentennial birthdays for both composers, making it the perfect time to enjoy their exceptional contributions to classical music.

"These composers wrote some of the most beautiful melodies of all time," says music professor Glen Montgomery. "There are many layers to the music they composed; it shows the richness of the minds of both Schumann and Chopin."

The variety of work being presented promises to highlight the evening.

"The program features an array of pieces, performed by faculty in the Music Department," says Montgomery. "Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben is a beautiful series of pieces to be performed along with the 1st Violin Sonata played by Peter Visentin and a set of 3 Fantasy Pieces performed by Peggy Mezei."

The evening concludes with the B Minor Sonata by Chopin, performed by Montgomery.

Tickets are available for $15 regular and $10 student/senior at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Box Office (403-329-2616).

Artists and friends paying homage to Stravinsky

trevor.kenney — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:10:44 +0000

Music by one of the greatest composers of the 20th century closes the U of L Faculty Artists and Friends concert series. Homage to Stravinsky on April 4, 8 p.m. in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall, features an array of his masterpieces.

A highlight of the program is Igor Stravinsky's delightful The Soldier's Tale for instrumental ensemble and three speakers.

"This modern folk fable tells how a soldier returning home on leave is tricked by the devil out of his cherished violin, his sweetheart and five years of his life in return for a book that reveals future stock prices," explains Dr. Brian Black. "The soldier becomes immensely wealthy through the magic of the book but yearns for his previous happiness. Finally he decides to confront the devil, defeat him and win back all that he has lost."

Also featured in the concert are Stravinsky's Faun and Shepherdess, the early song cycle that first revealed the composer's genius, a sultry Tango for piano and the Three Pieces for Clarinet, inspired in part by Stravinsky's interest in jazz.

Several Music Department faculty are performing, including: Dr. Sandra Stringer, Margaret Mezei, Trudi Mason, Nick Sullivan, Peter Visentin, Adam Mason, Dr. Thomas Staples and Dr. Deanna Oye.

Joining faculty performers as special guests are some old friends, Dr. George Evelyn as the narrator, Peter Monaghan as the soldier, and some new friends, bassoonist Michael Macaulay and the double bassist George Amorim.

Tickets are $15 regular and $10 student/senior from the U of L Box Office, 403-329-2616.
