In recognition of all the twos and threes in the 2022-2023 term, our focus last year was on ensemble work. We challenged ourselves with partner sight-reading games and preparing duets and trios for group lessons, Christmas music at Heritage Towers, the North Peace Performing Arts Festival, and the May 28th recital. Students chose three charities to support and audience members had the choice of contributing to one, two, or three very good causes. Peace River Food Bank - $125.00 + non-perishable items Peace River S.P.C.A. - $50.00 Stollery Children's Hospital - $135.00
This year's theme is A Musical Timeline. Students will be using this quick reference timeline to learn about different stylistic periods and will share their pieces during the Performance classes: Wednesday, October 25: Baroque (1600 - 1750) Tuesday, December 12: Classical (1750 - 1825) Wednesday, February 7: Romantic (1825 - 1900) Tuesday, March 5: Contemporary Idioms (1900 - 2000) Wednesday, May 22: Jazz and Popular (1950 - present)
Other Events: "Singing with the Seniors" at Heritage Towers: December 16, 2:00 p.m. North Peace Performing Arts Festival: March 10 - 23 with piano portion likely March 17 - 20 and Grand Concert on March 23 A Musical Timeline Recital: May 27, 7:00 p.m. at St. James Anglican Church.
