MusicUNB Presents: Between Streams — Steven Peacock and Howard Baer 🎵

January 29, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Join us for the first noon-hour concert of 2025! This pay-what-you-can performance features two local musicians in the beautiful Memorial Hall auditorium at 9 Bailey Dr on UNB Campus.

Steven Peacock and Howard Baer dressed in black and holding guitar necks.

Classical guitarist Steven Peacock and bassist Howard Baer explore a number of ways in which the classical and jazz idioms can intersect in music for these two instruments, not only stylistically but also in terms of form, melody, harmony and technique. Audiences can expect a few swing, blues and Latin jazz standards (such as How High the Moon, Bags Groove and Blue Bossa) along with new arrangements of primarily South American repertoire for classical guitar and several compositions (such as Ghislaine, Cassie’s Song and Rondo alla bossa) by the guitarist.

A certain classical sensibility, an improvisatory energy and immediacy, and an unmistakeable Latin flair join forces in what promises to be a unique and innovative program.

Henry V by William Shakespeare, directed by Len Falkenstein

Henry V 🎭

April 5, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Henry V by William Shakespeare, April 5-7

Henry V by William Shakespeare, directed by Len Falkenstein

Young King Henry, having cast off his youthful indiscretions, and spurred both by his advisors and an insult from the French prince, decides to press his claim to the throne of France by mounting an invasion. Although hopelessly outnumbered by the French, he rallies his troops to a stunning victory, uniting the thrones of England and France.

Shakespeare’s history play depicting the events of 1415-20 remains remarkably relevant to our present day, and contains some of his most stirring speeches, epic battle scenes, and remarkable characters, while Theatre UNB’s production will offer more than a few surprises.

Directed by Len Falkenstein and produced and performed by the students of Drama 2175/3175 with technical assistance from Drama 2174.

Reflections: UNB Art Centre Celebrates World Water Day 💧

March 24, 2023 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

The UNB Art Centre celebrates its 12th annual World Water Day exhibit with REFLECTIONS, an exhibit of work from 28 artists in the community, opening on March 24 at 5:00 pm. Since 2011, the UNB Art Centre has recognized World Water Day with a special exhibit or event that highlights the challenges that face society and the environment.

Eva McCauley Blinded By the Light Shining on the Sea (detail), 2021

World Water Day is an initiative of the United Nations to bring awareness to the importance of water resources and their sustainable management. Since its inception in 1993, the project has gathered momentum and participants from all over the world, each inspired to educate and activate their communities through a variety of projects.

While only 28 artists were selected to showcase their work in REFLECTIONS, 78 artists answered the call for submissions, responding to the theme by reflecting on their own relationship with water and the waterways of New Brunswick. For some, the artwork was based on an intimate relationship with a particular pond or stream, others took a more global perspective and looked at how water is used, still others examined the various states of water and its potential. This exhibit features sculpture, video, installation, photography, and painting.

REFLECTIONS will be on view from March 24 through April 28, 2023, in the East and West Galleries of the UNB Art Centre. It can also be viewed online.

The UNB Art Centre is located at Memorial Hall, 9 Bailey Drive, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton. The galleries are open 9 am – 4 pm on weekdays and during special events. Admission is free to members of the public.

Paradise Lost. A play by Erin Shields

Paradise Lost: A Play by Erin Shields 🍎

February 8, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

THEATREUNB PRESENTS: Paradise Lost

John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost, one of the most iconic texts in English literature, tells the story of the war in Heaven that resulted in the casting out of Satan and the bad angels, the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve, and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

Paradise Lost. A play by Erin Shields

Erin Shields’ adaptation, which debuted to acclaim at Ontario’s Stratford Festival in 2018, offers a witty, subversive, and decidedly contemporary and feminist retelling of Genesis, featuring a female Satan (of course!), epic angelic sword fights, and a whole lot of Edenic hanky panky. Directed by Len Falkenstein with technical direction by Trent Logan, the play is produced and performed by the students of Drama 3170, in cooperation with the students of Drama 2174.

Paradise Lost will be performed Wednesday, February 8th through Saturday, February 11th, 7:30 PM nightly at Memorial Hall, UNB. Tickets are available at the door via cash, credit, or debit, priced at $15 regular, $12 for seniors and the underemployed, and $10 for students. For more information, email lfalken@unb.ca or phone 447-3078.

Tangled up in Blue

Tangled up in Blues 💙

February 1, 2023 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Tangled Up in Blues (February 1, 2023, 7:30pm)

One might ask – Can classical violin and piano fully express the modernist jazz idioms of Wynton Marsalis’ ‘Fiddle Dance Suite’? How about faithfully voice the blues, spirituals and Black folk music influences in Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s ‘Blues Form’ and ‘Louisiana Blues Strut’? What about capturing the expressionism of the Harlem Renaissance sculptures that inspired William Grant Still’s ‘Suite for violin and piano’? Billy Childs’ ‘Incident on Larpenteur Avenue’ and Alvin Singleton’s ‘Jasper Drag’ present additional challenges, speaking directly to incidents of racialized violence against black men. Nadia and Carl explore the music and these issues.

Tangled up in Blue

MusicUNB invites you to listen for yourself, with a full program of works by Black composers reaching from 1927 to 2018. With Nadia Francavilla, violin, and Carl Philippe Gionet, piano.

Regular price: $30

Student price: $15

Tickets sold at the door.

Theatre UNB Presents Museum by Tina Howe, Dec. 1-3

Museum: A Comedy by Tina Howe. At this museum, the patrons are the most fascinating artworks on display. Dec 1-3, @ 7:30pm. $15 regular, $10 student.

As the list of famous artworks attacked with tomato soup, mashed potatoes, maple syrup, (and who knows what foodstuff next) continues to grow, Theatre UNB is set to demonstrate how life imitates art with a timely comedy set amidst the world of the fine arts.

In Tina Howe’s Museum, the final day of a group show by a trio of iconoclastic visual artists at a prestigious American art gallery draws a large crowd of art snobs and eccentrics, philistines and philanthropists, more than a few would-be vandals and art thieves, and all those confused folks just looking for the Colonial Quilts and Weathervanes. At the centre of it all, trying to keep some order and quiet amid this three-ring circus (the show is aptly titled “The Broken Silence”) is one very harried security guard who just wants people to stop stealing the clothespins. Museum is a high-spirited, laugh-out-loud comedy that questions the nature and value of art and our obsession with it and those who create it, even as it suggests that the most compelling artworks we encounter in our daily lives might be one another.

Museum is directed by Len Falkenstein and features a cast of 21 UNB Drama students who play 40 different characters in the course of the 90 minute play. Performances will take place at 7:30 PM nightly, Thursday, December 1st through Saturday, December 3rd at Memorial Hall on the UNB campus. Tickets ($15 regular, $12 senior/underemployed, $10 for students) will be available at the door (cash or debit/credit). Patrons are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to have time to view the artworks in the gallery before the show. For more information, phone 447-3078 or email lfalken@unb.ca
