The Op. 39 quintet by Prokofiev is based on his ballet, Trapeze, which was written during his time in Paris. The strange, virtuosic, and sometimes grotesque music perfectly represents circus performers and carnival sights.
Centred around the Prokofiev, our quirky program explores light and dark music by these four swell composers.
lunch time
Please join us for an impromptu music concert in the beautiful UWaterloo Rock Garden. The concert will start at noon and go for approximately an hour, weather permitting. Members of our Balinese Gamelan Ensemble will perform. You may even get a chance to try out an instrument yourself. Bring your lunch and stay a while.
