Conrad Grebel University College is pleased to welcome I Dewa Made Suparta as an Artist-in-Residence at the Music Department at the University of Waterloo.
The summer term is not necessarily quiet in the University of Waterloo’s Department of Music, housed at Conrad Grebel University College. There were several courses and numerous studio lessons taught along with many ensemble rehearsals and concerts. The end of August is also a time when Grebel hosts the Ontario Mennonite Music Camp which also brings energy and creativity to the halls of Grebel.
"As we listen more clearly to the music of our planet, we can seek to create music that celebrates not only the sounds of the earth and the larger universe but the silences from which these sounds emerge."
