Hey Music Lovers! An important message from our Department Chair, Ray Baril:
The Winter term is the very rich with music performances by our named ensembles and by our students. Over the next 13 weeks the Department of Music will present 66 evenings of music that showcase the diversity of our program, and the high level of performance artistry, compositional innovation and creativity that has made MacEwan Music a leader in our industry.
First on the agenda is the Showcase Band & Country/Roots Ensemble concert this Saturday evening, January 11 at 7:30 pm. Under the direction Chris Andrew and Kim Lesaca respectively, these two groups have already performed at various functions throughout the fall term and will now present their first feature concert of the year. In the words of the directors:
Consisting of vocalists and rhythm section players, the Showcase Band is a dynamic group designed to replicate the professional sound of ensembles in the world of music. The repertoire is curated from a broad spectrum of music ranging from rock, neo-soul, soul, funk and pop.
In addition, MacEwan University's Country & Roots Ensemble, this ensemble will be performing music by The Chicks, Cody Johnson, Tyler Childers, John Mayer, and other country and roots music from our favourite artists.
