UNews - Glen Montgomery

Piano Pianissimo plays Saturday

trevor.kenney — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:47:18 +0000

Two pianos, four pianists and eight hands are the formula for an exciting, entertaining evening of music.

Piano PIANISSIMO!, the final Faculty Artists & Friends concert of the season, features the talents of music faculty Dr. Deanna Oye and Glen Montgomery, alumna Magdalena von Eccher (BMus '07) and special guest David Rogosin. It plays on Saturday, Mar. 17 at 8 p.m. in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall.

"The pieces we've selected are gems of piano repertoire," says Oye. "The program is filled with music written or arranged for piano duet or piano duo, and the finale features a piece for two pianos and eight hands!"

Global Drums preparing for exotic event

trevor.kenney — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:57:53 +0000

Join Global Drums for another thrilling world tour and sample the exotic rhythms of Africa, Brazil, Japan and Latin America.

Global Drums and their special guests take to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Theatre stage Apr. 1-2 at 8 p.m. nightly for a program of hard-hitting rhythms and unique cultural collaborations.

"Our concert has something for everyone," says Adam Mason, director. "Audiences can expect a fantastic night of entertainment featuring works from our Steel Drum Ensemble, African Drums, Taiko Ensemble, Brazilian and Samba Ensemble."

Joining Global Drums this year is a notable roster of guests. The Brazilian Samba Band welcomes world-renowned Brazilian Samba drumming artist, Jimmy Biala.

"Biala is from San Francisco and teaches Samba percussion worldwide. We're very excited to have him lead our Samba Band during the concert," says Mason.

Another highlight of the program is an inspired twist on Rhapsody in Blue, featuring pianist Glen Montgomery. Composed for piano and orchestra, the U of L Percussion Ensemble collaborates with Montgomery on this unique rendition of Gershwin's classic.

"We are also performing a fast and furious arrangement of Hopak, featuring the Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Club and saxophonist Ian Burleigh," adds Mason.

Consisting of more than 40 performers, Global Drums boasts the largest post-secondary percussion ensemble in the country.

"Our steel drum band proudly represented Canada at the 17th Annual Cultural Festival in Honolulu this March," says Mason.

With support from provincial funding and the Lethbridge Twinning Society, U of L students took to the stage along with ensembles from Korea, Japan and Tahiti.

To experience the electricity of Global Drums, tickets are available from the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Box Office, weekdays from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. or by calling 403-329-2616. Tickets are $15 regular and $10 senior/student.

Classical duo celebrated

trevor.kenney — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:07:07 +0000

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).
