Christians Killing Christians: Martyrdom and the Disunity of the Church
On the island of Bali, Indonesia there is a plethora of musical ensembles called gamelan, the local term for a set of instruments made primarily of bronze or bamboo. The UWaterloo Department of Music at Conrad Grebel University College is home to a gamelan semara dana consisting of bronze gongs and metallophones, drums, and bamboo flutes.
The University of Waterloo Chamber Choir explores themes and music from across the ages, including works by Tomas Luis de Victoria, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Ola Gjeilo, and John Tavener.
The University Choir will be performing two of the most famous works in the choral literature, namely The Symphony of Psalms by Stravinsky and Bach's Magnificat. Composed for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Stravinsky created a symphony-choral work unlike any of its predecessors. He chose the Latin (Vulgate) versions of Psalms 38, 39, and 150. When asked about the Symphony of Psalms, Stravinsky said:
The UW Jazz Ensemble will have a fabulous term end concert, featuring the music of Rob McConnell, Sammy Nestico, Chuck Mangione, & more!
Soaring trumpet and sax solos will impress you.
Seven different instrumental chamber trios will perform a selection of music from Mozart, Glick, Bach, Ibert, Handel, and Martinu. There is even a brass group, with two trumpets & a tuba. Free admission, with refreshments to follow.
