Four different chamber trios will perform a wide selection of classical music pieces. The musicians are gifted students, so this is a delightful way to spend a Sunday evening. Free Admission, with a reception to follow.
On July 15th the University of Waterloo presents a special program of exploration, history, and collaboration through music. “Islands” brings story and song from some of the world’s most fascinating island communities. Hawaii, New Zealand, Cuba, and Jamaica are real islands with unique and interrelated musical cultures featuring popular and beloved music. We will also be weaving a Canadian island song into our concert. The concert will also feature the “premiere” of the UW Choir’s first music video produced this summer by the choir members themselves.
If you are interested in joining the University Choir, playing in an Instrumental Chamber Ensemble, or learning the Gamelan, see the Ensemble page. These groups are open to all UWaterloo students and staff.

On that beloved song book, the Book of Psalms, Martin Luther wrote, “No books of moral tales and no legends of saints which have been written, or ever will be, are to my mind as noble as the Book of Psalms… The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven. The Book of Psalms is full of heartfelt utterances made during storms of this kind.”
How can we use lectionary scriptures as a basis for choosing worship music, expand our conducting toolbox and lead music that both worships God and speaks into the world? In this half-day workshop we will sing together, learn together, and explore God’s gift of music.
