The ECSQ season continues with a concert of joy and sorrow: themes that are continuously grappled by composers over the years.  New works offer new insight while old classics still continue to ring true. Haydn’s “Sunrise” Quartet opens with the sublime rising warmth of a new day. Mozetich’s Lament in the Trampled Garden is a neo-romantic Canadian gem that is mournful, but sways with the joy of blooming flowers.  Our last piece of the concert is Borodin’s famous String Quartet No. 2, full of beauty and nostalgia.  The piece is rumoured to have been a 20th anniversary gift to his wife, and is meant to portray the story of the time they first met.  

La saison de l’ECSQ continue avec un concert mêlant la joie et la tristesse : des thèmes qui ne cessent d’être abordés par les compositeurs au cours des années.  Les nouvelles œuvres offrent de nouvelles perspectives, tandis que les vieux classiques continuent de sonner avec pertinence. Le Quatuor “Sunrise” de Haydn s’ouvre avec la chaleur sublime d’un nouveau jour qui se lève.  “Lament in the Trampled Garden” par Mozetich est un trésor canadien néo-romantique qui est en deuil, mais qui oscille avec la joie des fleurs qui s’épanouissent.  La dernière pièce du concert est le fameux Quatuor à cordes n° 2 de Borodin, plein de beauté et de nostalgie.

April 11 @ 5:00 pm 6:00 pm

Join us at Imago on April 11 at 5pm for a presentation by artist Christine Koch, who is in residence at Imago from March 26 to April 12. The presentation will be in English, starting around 5:30pm.

Newfoundland-based printmaker and painter Christine Koch has participated in numerous artist residency programs in Canada and the USA. Additionally, for the past two decades, she has been a guest artist with several scientific research teams in the North — Nunavut, Nunatsiavut, the Yukon, and on a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker in the high Arctic — and as a result, her practice focuses on the remote, often spectacular, often vulnerable landscapes in which she has worked.

Wild Symphony with Dan Brown and Sistema NB 🎻

June 11 @ 7:00 pm 8:30 pm

Best Selling author of The Da Vinci Code, and composer, Dan Brown joins the Sistema NB Children’s Orchestra to perform his Wild Symphony.

Dan Brown – the #1 best-selling author of The Da Vinci Code and related thrillers, Angels & Demons, Inferno, and The Lost Symbol – is known for exciting twists, turns, and surprises.

His musical surprise, WILD SYMPHONY, unveils the novelist as a lifelong musician and composer.

Inspired by the track record and international leadership of NBYO and Sistema NB, Brown has agreed to participate personally in the Sistema NB performance in Moncton on June 11, 2024. This will be his solo, personal collaboration in a Wild Symphony performance in 2024!

And although Wild Symphony is being performed by professional symphony orchestras from around the world, in New Brunswick, Wild Symphony will be performed by the Sistema NB Children’s Orchestra – 120 musicians, 14 years of age and younger, a class of its own.

Now in its 15th year, Sistema New Brunswick has grown into Canada’s largest orchestral program, engaging 1,200 children and youth and employing 60 professional teaching artists. The Sistema New Brunswick program is free. Children, starting in grade 1, participate three hours after school, five days a week totalling 600 hours annually. Music and the orchestra become a powerful catalyst for achievement and social development.

Plan to join us. It will be WILD!

Stupid F@#*ing Bird ̼

April 10 @ 7:30 pm 10:00 pm

Brought to you by the creative team behind last year’s immensely popular Jesus Christ Superstar, Hubcity Theatre is proud to present Stupid F*cking Bird.

Young playwright Con invites his uncle, his mother, her lover, and his two closest friends to see his new play starring his girlfriend, Nina. What follows is a clash of family, fate, and feelings as each character explores their relationship with each other, the world, and the ideas of love and art.

Razor-sharp witty, bombastically vulgar, and heart-wrenchingly emotional, Stupid F*cking Bird presents a roller coaster of a story exploring love & art, creation & destruction. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Anton Checkov’s masterpiece,The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. Stupid F*cking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
