  16. Edmonton! It's May!
    (and I'm less than a week late posting this!)

    Hockey season is over (😿) and hopefully so is snowstorm season (🙏🏻), but patio season is definitely on & outdoor festival season will get going by the end of the month.

    And for all you sports fans who need a new obsession: Stingers basketball starts May 9, Riverhawks baseball starts May 29, and Elks football pre-season starts May 23.

    Either way, lots to do around town.

  19. Anna Lapwood was absolutely incredible last night. I didn’t want her to finish and it was clear she didn’t want to either! I’ve performed with the Winspear’s Davis organ many times but I’ve never heard it quite like I did last night.

    Incredibly thankful to have experienced Anna on that amazing organ. Big props to the Winspear team for making this entirely sold out show (including the gallery!) happen.

  24. "With its proximity to Chinatown, the building’s 85-foot mural by local Indigenous artist Lance Cardinal bridges local Chinese and Indigenous cultures.

    Titled The Land We Share, it depicts the 12 Chinese zodiac animals on its right and the seven First Nations sacred-teaching animals on its left."

  25. At Unbound on Sunday Apr 26, Chronos presents a program of works that highlight new - and Canadian - choral music.

    The ensemble is busy rehearsing: here is a clip from Edge of Dawn by Nicholas Ryan Kelly.

    Using text from Lola Ridge, the text takes us to the moment dawn starts to break and the natural world slowly comes alive. Themed around resilience, this piece looks to nature's persistence and irrepressible life as inspiration in tough times.

    Nicholas was the winner of Chronos' first Composition Competition in 2017, and his work "You Speak Violets" commissioned by the ensemble in 2021 will also be featured on this program.

    Join us on Sunday at 7:30 to hear the rest!

  27. Edmonton! No fooling, it's April! And has been for a while... I hope you enjoyed the long weekend, but it's past time I post my monthly events calendar, eh?

  32. Chronos in Rehearsal:

    Rehearsing for Uplifted, the closing moments of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. Another piece on the program that was initially conceived as an instrumental work, Barber wrote this string quartet in 1936.

    Performed often and strongly associated with elegiac mourning Barber added the text in 1967, bringing to the surface the work’s inherent sense of spirituality.

    Join us for the rest on Saturday Feb 7 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, Edmonton
