Calgary's prestigious Rubbing Stone Ensemble visits the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall Oct. 19 for an 8 p.m. performance of selections from their soon-to-be-released and tentatively titled album, Rubbing Stone Ensemble: The Lethbridge Sessions.

Recorded at Studio 1, in the Faculty of Fine Arts, the album features new music composed for Rubbing Stone Ensemble by seven Canadian composers, including U of L music faculty member, Dr. Arlan Schultz.

Versatile and dynamic, this resident ensemble for New Works Calgary is making a name for itself performing a wide array of new Canadian music, including pieces that incorporate electronics.

Studio 1 has hosted a number of talented musicians since opening in the Faculty of Fine Arts.

Ensemble members include Jeremy Brown (saxophone), Gianetta Baril (harp), Donovan Seidle (violin) and Eric Bumstead (percussion). Special guest performers joining Rubbing Stone for the Oct. 19 concert include music faculty, Dr. Deanna Oye (piano) and Martha Renner (soprano).

Schultz, whose work Ikos is on the evening's program and on the CD, is proud of the upcoming album and thrilled the ensemble is giving Lethbridge audiences a preview.

"The album is set to be released on CD worldwide and for download on iTunes in the spring of 2013. The concert features stunning new works by Laurie Radford, David Eagle, Nova Pon, Alain Perron, and Anthony Tan," he says.

The concert features the acoustic ensemble seamlessly blended with surround computer facilitated audio.

Tickets, priced at $15 regular, $10 seniors/students, are available at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Box Office or online at www.uleth.ca/tickets

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ continued to expand in 2007/2008 with four major projects highlighting campus activities. Ground was broken Feb. 15, 2007, on the $65-million Markin Hall project, a four-level complex that will house the School of Health Sciences and Faculty of Management. It is expected to open during the summer of 2010. Oct. 17, 2008, marked the official opening of Turcotte Hall. The building houses the Faculty of Education and provides cutting-edge math/science and computer laboratories, improved office and classroom space and allows room for further expansion. The $24-million Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building will open this fall. This new state-of-the-art facility increases the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's applied research capacity in areas such as watersheds, water ecology, water quality and public health, environmental monitoring, hydrologic forecasting and water resource management. The Aquatic Research Facility is slated to open in early 2009. The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's Sports Field Complex, an $11-million project, is to be completed in the summer of 2009.
