WALK IN THE WIND
From breeze to rainshower to a deluge of biblical proportions鈥攖he cleansing power of water and the gracious hand of God thread through this program presented by the Concordia Community Chorus (dir. Joy Berg). The brilliance of creation is recalled by Vivaldi鈥檚 Gloria. The disturbance, destruction, and regeneration of that world is then captured in a buoyant rendering of the saga of Noah鈥檚 flood, Captain Noah and His Floating Zoo, accompanied by the Concordia String Quartet and guest musicians, with staging by Concordia drama students Teagan Kamstra and Emily Assenheimer. Also catch Concordia choristers Teagan Kamstra, Jessa Clarkson, Kira Dawson, Hayley Tomich, and Christina Sawchuk in solo roles in the聽Gloria.

PULSE
Concordia Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 final concert of the 2017鈥�18 season is bursting with energy!
The orchestra is proud to present the Albertan premiere of Chinese-Canadian composer Kevin Lau鈥檚 Elemental scored for strings, percussion, and Japanese taiko drums, starring taiko duo Twilla & Greg from Booming Tree. In the composer鈥檚 own words the music of Elemental 鈥渟erves as a conduit, channeling energy into a multitude of primal human conditions鈥攙iolence and aggression, dance and song, love, despair, and change鈥攁s symbolized by the elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.鈥�
The flagship, Beethoven鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 2, opens the program, rendered by Taiwan native Ping-Shan Liao, pianist. The high-voltage bolts of the rondo set the stage for the afternoon. Next is the very personal Siegfried Idyll, which Richard Wagner composed for his wife following the birth of their son.
The afternoon starts with a pre-concert chat presented by Dr. Neil Querengesser at 2:15.
Sunday, April 22, 3 pm in the Tegler Centre.
