LUNCHTIME DELIGHTS AND MORE!
This month is full of opportunities to take in a lunchtime concert including two Fridays at 12:30 concerts: David Sadlier, tenor, and Francisco Rocafuerte, piano, performing art song repertoire in English, Spanish and German; musical theatre repertoire performed by Christopher Cayari.
Mid-term season is here again, which means all large ensembles are in action before the students head out and classes and concerts are paused for Reading Week. The Symphonic Band kicks things off on February 6, followed by Wind Ensemble with this year’s Winds, Brass and Percussion Concerto Competition winner on February 7; Choirs at Western features a lunchtime series this month with one choir performing daily February 10-12; and the Symphony Orchestra performs a lunchtime concert on February 13.
Know a flute enthusiast? The month opens with Flute Day on February 1 where we will welcome world-renowned Canadian flautist, composer and educator Robert Atiken as this year’s guest artist. He will teach a masterclass to Western Music flute students and perform a short recital of solo flute music. The Western flute faculty will also give mini trial lessons to high school and community flute players of all levels on this special day.

Behind the Events
Despite being the shortest month of the year, each day is filled with learning opportunities and chances for students to perform and highlight their development since the fall term. As February is Black History Month, more opportunities for students to learn and engage are supported by campus-wide events and activities, as well as learning resources.
