MARCH MADNESS
March is officially the busiest month of the year, packed with year-end recitals and other culmination events as the term rises to its crescendo.
The month begins with a special event where the Faculty will be transformed into a musical gallery with showcases and interative displays inspired by Western's Northern Tornadoes Project data and other weather and nature inspired pieces.
Opera at Western presents its final and largest production of the year - Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring. A charming comic opera that is a wonderful story for all ages and families. Reserve your seats in advance to save $5 on tickets purchased at the door.
The Fridays @ 12:30 concert series concludes its season this month with three concerts: piano faculty member Leslie Kinton performs Beethoven’s 33 Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli, Op. 120; alumna Cara Lianne McLeod, soprano, is joined by Marianna Chibotar-Rutkevich, piano to share some of her more treasured music; and violist Annemarie Moorcroft and pianist Angela Park close out the season with music by George Enescu, Paul Hindemith, and others.
Western's Dance Minor students present their annual showcase Studies in Motion this month. The performance is a representation of the accomplishments of the students resulting from creative challenges explored in their dance courses.
Choirs are also busy this month! Chorale and Western University Singers choirs share a joyful concert with special guests the London Gospel Collective. Last that week, Les Choristes and Chorale are united in song to close out the choral season.
Percussion Ensemble, Early Music Studio and Jazz Ensemble take their final bows of the season this month, as well as the Symphony Orchestra.
We expect (many!) more events to be added, including studio, chamber and solo student recitals. Keep an eye on the events calendar, and - AS ALWAYS - make sure you check before you leave home. Student recitals are always subject to change, especially at this time of year.
