Following the Canadian premier of The Shape of Things, by Erin Rogers, virtuoso violinist, Tatiana Warszynski, will again perform the solo work on Salt Spring Island. If you live in the Vancouver area, she is definitely a performer worth seeing live… (details to come).

Saturday, June 16th, 8:00pm – Convocation Hall, University of Alberta

The Warszynski Trio was founded to commission and play Canadian and international works for two violins and piano, or any combination of these three instruments – from solo to trio. Over the years the trio members have commissioned, premièred and/or given performances of works by a host of Canadian and foreign composers. They have presented those works at the Edmonton and Saskatchewan New Music Festivals as well as at frequent recital appearances. Recent commissions include new pieces from Scott Godin (Montréal), George Andrix, Thom Golub, Piotr Grella-Mozejko and Jacek Sobieraj (all from Edmonton). The three musicians will be recording their first CD, devoted to Canadian New Music, in the Summer of 2007.
Congratulations on playing wonderfully, all of you! The Baccalaureate School’s annual spring concert, held Thurs. May 31st was a terrific success. All proceeds from the evening went towards The Helping Hands Committee’s Clean Water campaign. Sabrina Melendez, Sarah Diaz and Anca Dogariou showed some serious instrumental chops. I’m so proud of you three and all the hard work you put in this year! Well done!!! Also, a big round of applause for Ms. Nikkolos, her drumming class and the BSGE dancers!
Sabrina Melendez (flute), Sarah Diaz (alto saxophone) and Anca Dogariou (flute) will all be performing at the BSGE studio recital, along with the 10th grade drum class and the BSGE dancers! These three ladies have made tremendous progress this year and have prepared some diffficult, beautiful solo pieces for the BSGE staff, family and friends. Please join us for a night of young talent!
Our 4/24 concert was a tremendous success! We had a blast and hear you did too. That’s why we’re bringing it back. Thurs. May 31, 8pm at Waltz Astoria – catch the works you loved the first time (and then some).
Hope to see you there!

It was great to see Dr. Shrude this past week. She was in New York for two performances of her chamber work “Raining Glass”, for piano trio, performed by the Lost Dog New Music Ensemble. A wonderful piece, I was able to hear it premiered at the BG new Music and Art Festival a few years ago. Busy as ever, she had just come from a brief residency in North Carolina.
Garth Sunderland, director of Lost Dog, was a former student of Shrude’s, as he attended BGSU during a year long hiatus from USC (he then went on to study at the University of Michigan). I’m looking forward to premiering a chamber piece of Garth’s next spring. Details to come!
Congratulations are in order to David Wegehaupt for making it to the semi-final round in the 2006 Adolphe Sax International Competition in Dinant, Belgium. A good friend and former student of mine, David currently studies at Bowling Green State University with Dr. John Sampen. An incredible player – keep your eye on this guy!
