We have 8 different Chamber Ensemble groups this term, playing a wide variety of pieces.
To aid in maintaining covid protocols, we are splitting the players into two separate concerts.
During Spring Term 2021, the Balinese Gamelan Ensemble, Instrumental Chamber Ensembles, and the UWaterloo Choirs online continued to meet. For our listening pleasure, they compiled videos of a few pieces. The video will premiere on Wednesday, August 11th at 12:30pm and remain online for a few weeks.
This concert is a collaboration between mezzo-soprano Michelle Lafferty and Pianist Kimly Mengyin Wan. The premiere will be released on February 3 and will continue to be available on the Grebel You-tube Channel.
Few groups have been as impacted by Covid-19 as professional musicians, who have lost live performing opportunities. This concert series is an opportunity for them to shine in front of an audience, albeit online.
Renowned local pianist Heidi Wall will perform the following two pieces:
In Bali, the Gamelan is traditionally played out of doors. In that spirit, our Spring concert will take place at Waterloo Town Square.
Musicologist Dr. Katherine Kennedy Steiner will join Conrad Grebel University College’s faculty as Assistant Professor of Music, starting July 1, 2018. Teaching a range of courses from broad musicology surveys, to music of the Renaissance and medieval eras, to church music and worship, Steiner will engage with diverse groups of students across the University of Waterloo campus. She will also direct the College’s Chapel Choir.
Students at the University of Waterloo are an incredibly diverse group, with interests spanning math, health, engineering, science, environment, and arts. Many of these students have spent hundreds of hours of their life learning a musical instrument and, instead of giving up their love of music while at university, they have found a collective place to express it. The orchestra@uwaterloo is a full-sized symphony orchestra whose players are students, staff, faculty, and alumni of Waterloo.
Join us for Grebel Student Council's production of "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson.
