Liberté, Égalité, Sororité: French Women Composers in the Early 1900s 🎻

February 14 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

MusicUNB invites you to join us for a captivating and thought-provoking performance.

The French women composers featured in this concert worked in the Impressionist tradition of Debussy and Ravel. In a time when music by women composers was rarely performed, these trailblazers defied expectations, making their living from their art. But despite their prolific output–more than 300 pieces performed throughout the early 20th century–history has seen their contributions eclipsed by those of their male counterparts.

February 14, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall. Tickets $30 regular / $15 students.

ECSQ play Beethoven & Shostakovich (Saint John)

November 30, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

The Elm City String Quartet presents two masterworks; one an early turning point, and the other a maturation of a lifelong journey. Beethoven’s 14th string quartet is one of the famous “late” quartets, composed when he was nearing the end of his incredible career. The third string quartet of Shostakovich is seen as the composer’s first great success of imbedding his personality into a quartet piece. It is dark and desolate, sarcastic, and heart-breakingly intimate. Both these pieces are profound, artful, and deeply personal, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Choral Fest 2023

October 20, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – October 22, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

Choral Fest 2023
October 20-22
Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick
Johannes Brahms Schicksalslied and Various Canadian songs
Hosted by The Mount Allison Choral Society
Conductor Kiera Galway
Accompanist Thomas Gonder
and the Mount Allison University Chamber Orchestra
Conducted by James Kalyn

Early bird deadline to register is Wednesday,
September 20, 2023.

Join singers from around the region in one of the world’s greatest
choral works.
Brahms’ Schicksalslied (Song of Fate) is an orchestrally accompanied
choral setting of a poem written by Friedrich Hölderlin, and has all
of Brahms’ characteristic force and emotion: longing, dramatic tension
and expansive joy. By some estimations Brahms’ best choral work, it
has retained its popularity ever since it was composed and is a
must-sing in the repertoire of every choral singer.
Every year since 1982 until the pandemic year of 2020, singers from
New Brunswick and beyond gathered at the New Brunswick Choral
Federation’s Choral Fest to rehearse and perform a great choral work
under one of Canada’s leading conductors. The New Brunswick Choral
Federation is delighted to have Dr. Kiera Galway, along with the Mount
Allison University Choral Society and Chamber Orchestra, and Christ
Church Cathedral’s Thomas Gonder, to support the full return of this
joyful event.

This year’s organizers want Choral Fest to be a true festival of
choirs, with as much participation from choirs as we can have. So,
please check out the Come As A Choir rate!

Please register as soon as possible, so that we can provide music to
you in a timely manner.
