SUMMARY:Guelph Musicfest Encore: Zemlinsky String Quartet (from Prague)
DESCRIPTION:Guelph Musicfest welcomes the internationally-renowned Zemlinsky String Quartet from Prague for its first-ever performance in Guelph. The quartet will appear at the Recital Hall of the Guelph Youth Music Centre. \nPROGRAM: Beethoven’s Quartet in F minor “Serioso” Op. 95; Janáček’s Quartet No. 1 “Kreutzer Sonata”; and Dvořák’s famous “American” Quartet\, Op. 96 in F major. \nThis concert is the first of Guelph Musicfest’s Fall Encore series\, which includes a recital by violinist Sadie Fields (from Brussels\, Belgium) with festival director/pianist Ken Gee on Friday\, November 7\, at the GYMC. More information at https://www.guelphmusicfest.ca \nFounded in 1994 while the members were still students\, the Zemlinsky Quartet has become a much lauded example of the Czech string quartet tradition. The Zemlinsky Quartet won the First Grand Prize at the Bordeaux International String Quartet Competition in 2010. They have also been awarded top prizes at the Banff International String Quartet Competition (2007)\, the Prague Spring International Music Competition (2005)\, and the London International String Quartet Competition (2006)\, where they also received the Audience Prize. The Quartet was the recipient of the Alexander Zemlinsky Advancement Award in 2008. Other notable prizes include the Beethoven International Competition (1999)\, the New Talent Bratislava (2003)\, the Martinů Foundation String Quartet Competition (2004)\, and the Prize of the Czech Chamber Music Society (2005). In the 2016/17 season\, the Zemlinsky Quartet was appointed as the residential ensemble of the Czech Chamber Music Society. \nWhile students at the Prague Conservatory and the Academy of Performing Arts Prague\, the ensemble was coached by members of renowned Czech string quartets\, including the Talich\, Prague\, Kocian and Pražák Quartets. The ensemble also participated in several master classes\, including ProQuartet in France and the Sommerakademie in Reichenau\, Austria\, where they were awarded First Prize for the best interpretation of a work by Janáček. From 2005 to 2008\, the quartet studied with Walter Levin\, the first violinist of the LaSalle Quartet. Their recent mentor has been Josef Klusoň\, the violist of the Pražák Quartet. \nThe performance also pairs with a concert by the Zemlinsky Quartet for the KW Chamber Music Society on Friday October 24 featuring Zemlinsky’s Quartet No. 1 in A major\, Op. 4; Smetana’s Quartet No. 1 in E minor “From My Life”; and Janáček’s Quartet No. 2 “Intimate Letters.” More information at https://k-wcms.com

SUMMARY:Youth Open Mic Night
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nFor the Guelph Arts Council’s very first event in our new office\, our summer co-op student Claire is proud to be organizing a Youth Open Mic to give youth a platform to showcase their art and connect with other young artists in the Guelph community. Because it can be intimidating to perform and share your art with other people\, especially when you’re young\, Claire hopes this event will help youth gain confidence and connect with other young artists in the community. She is very grateful to the Guelph Arts Council team in providing the space\, and guiding her through the process of creating this event.  \nThe Youth Open Mic will be taking place on July 31st from 7-9pm at the new home of the Guelph Arts Council\, in the Old Quebec St Shoppes. While acts are open to artists ages 18 and under\, all ages are welcome and encouraged to come and watch the show. The event is open to a variety of art forms whether it be music\, spoken word\, visual art\, monologues or more.  \nClick here to Register and/or RSVP! \n  \nHope to see you there!

SUMMARY:ANIMA presents :  The Sign of Jonas; An Apocalypse Folktale by Luke Hathaway & Benton Roark
DESCRIPTION:ANIMA Early Music is thrilled to present The Sign of Jonas; An Apocalypse Folktale\, with texts by Luke Hathaway & music by Benton Roark. This (55-minute) work will be performed by Mother Country\, a beautiful roots music ensemble led by Benton Roark (voice\, banjo\, guitar & piano) and featuring Andrew Ivens (voice\, mandolin\, guitar\, piano & lap steel)\, Phil Albert (voice & bass) & Chris Hull (percussion). Mother Country will be joined by ANIMA’s artist co-directors\, Daniel Cabena (voice & fiddle) & Luke Hathaway (spoken word). \nHere are a few notes about this work from composer Benton Roark: \nSparse in construction\, timeless in imagery\, arcane in meaning\, and proto-mythical in characters and narrative\, The Sign of Jonas superimposes personal apocalypse on environmental and cultural collapse. It imagines a song cycle lost and found: a musical manuscript orphaned by the cataclysms of the 21st century\, and rewakened to ritual life far in the future. The fragmentary text speaks of travelling\, of death and rebirth\, of decay and regeneration; the music is a ritualized series of part songs\, responsorials\, chants\, chorales\, and incantations\, performed as a folk-music-pageant-mystery-play\, complete with communal singing and other forms of audience participation. When our lives end\, they continue in one another.
