As another academic year begins, the music department at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s 91Ô´´ campus prepares for a new season of concerts.
Following the success of their Music Faculty Showcase, they will be hosting another series of three concerts this fall and winter.
This season will open on Oct. 27 with The Touch of Brass, a dynamic quintet that has graced concert stages world-wide with KPU’s trumpet instructor Tom Shorthouse leading the way.
The internationally acclaimed Borealis String Quartet follows on Jan. 19. As artists-in-residence, the Borealis will again share their intense style of music-making with their audience.
The season wraps up on March 2 with a CDelebration — an eclectic concert combining KPU jazz and classical performers and guests. This evening will mark the official release of three new CDs.
Hear bassist Jodi Proznick’s Sun Songs, two CDs featuring KPU’s Julia Nolan, saxophone and Jane Hayes, piano with guest violinist Joan Blackman and clarinetist Francois Houle. This night will be a first for KPU and a celebration of 25 years of music instruction at KPU.
Subscriptions for the three concert series are: adults $45; seniors and students $30; children age 12 and under $20.
All concerts will be held in the KPU 91Ô´´ Auditorium, 20901 91Ô´´ Bypass. Concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.
