I wanted to let you know about one more recital that I have coming up. I’m getting a Performance Certificate from King’s University in a unique program
where I am having my lessons on Skype with professors in Montreal.
My recital program is really varied, with music from the 1600’s to Baroque
and also a surprising piece from the 1968 with interesting staging.
As well, I will have an amazing dancer for one of the pieces.
For those of you who are piano students, you will have the opportunity to
hear Judy Loewen’s wonderful playing on the harpsichord and the organ.
These instruments are heard less often and it’s a fantastic chance to hear
something that you would have the capability of playing in the future.

Christmas Recorder Ensemble
The ERS is not participating at the Legislature Building this year.
Performance December 18; Senior Care Residence
to loriklingbeil@gmail.com if you’d like to come.
A 45-minute Christmas programme is being planned
for a care facility in December.
You are welcome to participate, either by playing a piece of
music or participating in an ensemble. The programme is open to any Christmas-appropriate selection you’d like to play
for recorder and/or other instruments, or sing.
We’d like to put together a lovely, varied music programme
with wide participation similar to the Alberta Legislature
programmes we’ve done in past years.

From Vince: As you may know, my basement holds a large collection of recorder music of all styles and eras which I’m keen to explore – I don’t think even I know quite what’s lurking in the depths of some of my filing cabinets….. Playing level will be easy/medium (there could be occasional pointers on style and recorder technique if people find this useful) and there would be no commitment to performing, though there could be opportunities if everyone is keen. The intention is to enjoy exploring music, bring some pieces to a befitting level of playing, and have fun. About Vince
Mark your calendars!

Kudos: "Thanks also to members of the Edmonton Recorder Society for being the first group of people to play through the score and show me how awesome and fun it would be to perform this piece live." Quote from Racheal Cogan, composer and workshop leader (March 2015) To read more and hear the piece: Music for a Cavern
