Alexander Technique for Musicians
Guido Heistek
In this experiential workshop, Guido Heistek will lead an exploration of the Alexander Technique, a century old system of postural self-management which is taught in many of the worlds' top music schools, such as Juilliard and the Royal College of Music. The Technique can help musicians stop harmful habits, avoid injury and find the support they need in practice, performance and in everyday life. Come experience how awareness in activity can help free up expression and reduce strain. Please bring your instrument! We will work as a group, and also individually.
In the Same Room:
CapU Choirs’ In the Same Room concert brings voices into conversation across cultures, traditions, and time. Baroque excerpts by Vivaldi meet musical worlds of the East and works by Indigenous composers resonate through the choral voice. Wonderful popular favourites enter the dialogue, asking timeless questions of purpose and becoming.
This concert features guest vocal artist Shruti Ramani, leader of Raagaverse, whose original music combines Indian and jazz traditions, and santoor virtuoso Saina Khaledi, who performs with Vashaan Ensemble, Vancouver Intercultural Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, among other ensembles.
Inspired by the late Stó:lō First Nations Elder Lee Maracle’s reminder that we must be in the same room to create a shared future, this evening asks: now that we’re here, what do we make together?
Jan. 30 - Re-Sounding Music
Does Music Matter?
Sean Bickerton
Music moves us more deeply than any other form of creativity. And it is fundamental to our humanity, though music is created by many other inhabitants of this planet, including birds, whales, and even crickets. So, what is music? And what is a composer of music? And why do they matter? Join Sean Bickerton, BC Director of the Canadian Music Centre, in an exploration of something indispensable to the most important experiences of our lives yet so universal we take it for granted.
Come learn about our Music Diploma and Music Therapy programs! Our open house will feature student performances and a group musical improvisation for all attendees.
We look forward to seeing you there!
