Join us for Grebel Student Council's production of "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson.
In celebration of Canada’s 150th, we have chosen music written by Canadian composers and inspired by the country’s landscape and wildlife, and by the various cultural heritages of its indigenous and immigrant peoples. You will hear both tender and rollicking versions of Newfoundland and prairie folksongs, along with gentle and glorious music by our established and emerging composers, inspired by their own cultural heritages and by their Canadian home. We even tip our hat to what should be our national bird (sorry, Gray Jay) -- the mosquito!
The Instrumental Chamber Ensembles are groups of talented students playing a wide selection of classical chamber pieces, from Dvorak to Beethoven. We have 5 different groups this term.
The UWaterloo Balinese Gamelan Ensemble will be performing a selection of classical Balinese music.
The UWaterloo Jazz Ensemble will perform a selection of jazz classics, embracing the music of Neal Hefti, Joe Zawinel, Jim McGrath and more....
The Jazz Ensemble is directed by Michael Wood, a well-known vibist who performed at the Stratford Festival for many years.
The Instrumental Chamber Ensembles consist of 3 to 4 student musicians, usually string trios or a brass group. They are directed by Ben Bolt-Martin, a well known local cellist who also plays at the Stratford Festival.
Free admission, reception to follow.
War monuments, cenotaphs and honour rolls remind us daily of the most dramatic and familiar stories of war. This exhibit tells war stories of a different kind, and lays out an alternative memorial landscape—the landscape of nonresistance.
These stories are gleaned from letters, diaries, newspapers, photographs, government documents and family histories found in the Mennonite Archives of Ontario. Together, they paint a picture of the Great War from a “peace church” perspective.
Join us for a Launch Reception as we celebrate the newest exhibit in the Grebel Gallery, Collage and Connectedness.
Throughout February and March, a group of Waterloo Region youth set out to explore what “connectedness” meant to them through mixed media techniques. The products of their exploration are on display in the Grebel Gallery throughout May to August 2017
Time: 6:30pm reception, meal and presentation to follow
