You'll have a chance to speak with students involved in the project and learn how the renovation and expansion will increase their quality of living at Grebel.
The Balinese Gamelan is meant to be heard outdoors, so please join us at Waterloo Town Square for a terrific evening concert. Free admission. This ensemble is directed by I Dewa Made Suparta, a noted Gamelan composer, and Dr. Maisie Sum. Stay after the concert to try out an instrument or two.
The human voice is an incredible instrument, not only capable of carrying text, but also showcasing many different sounds to convey emotion or create atmosphere. Voicescapes will explore some of these capabilities, featuring music by composers such as Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, Stephen Hatfield, Morten Lauridsen, and Sarah Hopkins. 
A moving concert of vocal and instrumental music inspired by magical tales and legends. The music ranges from the enchanting "Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty" ballets by Tchaikovsky to arias from Mozart's "Magic Flute" and Massenet's "Cinderella", as well as orchestral music from Gounod's "Faust" and the great Can-Can from "Orpheus in the Underworld".
Four chamber groups will play a delightful selection of classical music. Included this term are pieces by Mozart and Peterson. Free admission, reception to follow.
