Sylvia Hinz in Recital 
Now Hear This Festival of New Music
Saturday, March 18, 2017    2 p.m.
Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 10037 84 Ave
New Music Edmonton 

Think you know what a recorder can do? This concert will change all that. As an artist dedicated to many forms of new music practice, Sylvia Hinz turns all of the clichés about recorders on their head. Presenting a compelling and varied new program of works by composers from all over the world, this recital will be a virtuosic revelation, showing the spectacular breadth of expression the recorder has inspired in composers and inviting the audience into a unique and fascinating sound world. Sylvia will perform the Canadian premiere of Birds (2012) for renaissance soprano recorder composed by Calgary native, Clio Montrey. We are pleased to welcome Sylvia Hinz, one of the finest recorder virtuosi in the world, for her Canadian debut.

Early Music Events

Edmonton has a lively professional music scene, and from time to time a recorder player or early music ensemble will grace one of the local stages. We try to provide links to these concerts. If you know of an upcoming event and think it should be posted here, please contact us.

The Edmonton Recorder Society is an Institutional Member of Early Music Alberta;  this entitles ERS members to a 50% discount for individual memberships.  (In 2016, that means $25 instead of $50.)  In turn, individual members are entitled to discounted concert prices.
