Review Photo 10188 — Greg Nikkel

Large flocks of snow geese and Canada geese lift off from the Souris River, where they were resting on their long journey north after spending the winter in the southern U.S. This large group of geese was found on the Souris near the Golf Course bridge just southeast of the city, and is a sure sign spring is here.

Outstanding Cecilian Chamber Series coming to Regina A n outstanding concert featuring the Cecilian Chamber Series will be presented in Regina for performances in April and May. “A terrific little concert series” is how CBC Radio 2’s “In Concert” described the Cecilian Chamber Series. CBC Radio 2 named the event as “Concert of the Week”, when it was presented by Cheng2 Duo on November 22. Praised for consistently presenting outstanding Canadian Classical Musicians, the final two concerts of this fifth season have been scheduled. For lovers of classical chamber music, these are two must attend concerts. Angela Cheng, piano will

perform in Reigna on Sunday, April 17 at 4 p.m. Praised for her brilliant technique, tonal beauty, and superb musicianship, Angela Cheng has appeared as a soloist with more than 100 orchestras and as recitalist throughout North America, Asia, and Europe. James Ehnes, violin, and Andrew Armstrong, piano will perform on Sunday, May 15, 4 p.m. Violinist James Ehnes has been described as “effusively lyrical and hair-raisingly virtuosic” by the Guardian.

New Orford String Quartet, to name only a few. Along with these well known names, the Cecilian Chamber Series has also been successful in engaging exceptional young performers who are new on the scene. These include Timothy Chooi, violin, who gave a memorable performance in 2014 and the Cheng2 Duo, Silvie and Bryan Cheng, on piano and violin. The intimacy of Regina’s Knox-Metropolitan United Church with its wonderful acoustics allows Cecilian Chamber Series performers and the audience to experience a close connection. Audiences are becoming increasingly devoted to the genre of chamber music

with its more intimate connection between musician and audience. Even the novice listener can easily perceive the clear textures and follow the composer’s intertwining paths. The 2016 to 2017 season will consist of five concerts including two international artists: a South American string quartet and an Israeli String quartet, and of course more great Canadian artists. For tickets to these great concerts, interested residents can visit the website at: www. cecilianconcertseries.ca.
