SUMMARY:Guelph Musicfest Encore: East to West—a musical journey with violinist Sadie Fields & pianist Ken Gee
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Sadie Fields returns to Canada from Belgium to join friend/pianist/Musicfest director Ken Gee for another Guelph Musicfest Fall ENCORE recital as Guelph Musicfest 2025 continues its musical journey Around the World! \nEast to West—a Musical Journey presents music from Japan to Canada. The concert in the Recital Hall of the Guelph Youth Music Centre includes Takemitsu\, Distance de Fée; Bartók\, Romanian Folk Dances; Brahms\, Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major; Weinberg\, Two Songs without Words; Raminsh\, Aria (1987); Enman\, Imagined Shapes (2022). \nThis concert is the second of Guelph Musicfest’s Encore series\, which includes a concert by the Zemlinsky String Quartet (from Prague) on Saturday October 25 at the GYMC. More information at https://guelphmusicfest.ca \nSadie and Ken have been performing together as a duo and in the Festival Trio for many years. During that time\, they have built on a common sense of musicality and close friendship that makes for wonderful performances. \nSadie enjoys a richly varied career as a soloist\, chamber musician\, curator\, and artistic director. Her love affair with the violin began at the age of seven when her primary school visited the renowned Axelrod collection of Stradivarius violins. Mesmerized by the sound\, she convinced her mother to let her start lessons\, leading to a lifelong dedication to the instrument. \nPerforming regularly across Europe and North America\, Sadie’s concerts also take her to destinations further afield\, including Asia\, the Middle East\, and New Zealand. A passionate advocate for chamber music\, she was the founding leader of the Castalian String Quartet and violinist of Trio Khnopff. She also founded the Belgium-based Flash Ensemble\, a flexible chamber group centred around a string trio\, and is a member of the Festival Trio in Canada. In addition to her ensemble work\, Sadie collaborates with a range of distinguished pianists and recently formed a duo with Italian accordionist Luca Piovesan. Most recently\, Sadie has been appointed leader of the acclaimed Edinburgh Quartet\, an ensemble with a rich history spanning over more than 60 years. \nAs a recording artist\, Sadie’s most recent recording features Flash Ensemble’s pioneering interpretation of the complete string trios by Hungarian composer László Lajtha (Pavane Records\, 2023)\, and was awarded 5 stars in Diapason. Another recording\, ‘Weinberg – 1945’\, by Trio Khnopff\, was celebrated by critics in both Europe and North America and was selected as BBC Music Magazine’s ‘Chamber Disc of the Month’ for January 2020. Sadie’s discography also includes several recordings for BIS Records with Camerata Nordica (Sweden)\, and two highly acclaimed albums with Champs Hill Records. Her Mendelssohn chamber music disc earned BBC Music Magazine’s Editor’s Choice and ‘Chamber Disc of the Month’ honours\, as well as the German Record Critics’ Award for ‘Chamber Music Disc of the Quarter.’ Her second Champs Hill release\, featuring the complete Brahms Sonatas with pianist Jeremy Young\, also received widespread critical acclaim. \nSadie is the founder and director of the Mini Concerts series in Brussels\, and has recently taken up the role of artistic director of the Music in Rannoch concert series in the Highlands of Scotland. \nSadie holds a PhD from the Royal Academy of Music in London\, where her practice-led doctoral research explored practical and philosophical ideas surrounding the concepts of learning and tradition\, with a focus on her engagement with Bartók’s violin works. She has been awarded prizes and scholarships from over twenty UK and international organizations\, and she has held prestigious fellowships\, including the Leverhulme Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music and the Edison Visiting Fellowship at the British Library. \nGuided by principal teachers György Pauk\, Yair Kless\, and Atis Bankas\, Sadie has also benefited from the mentorship of Ivry Gitlis\, Ida Haendel\, and Ferenc Rados. As an educator\, she teaches violin and chamber music\, has taught at King’s College London\, and offers masterclasses at conservatories and universities in China\, Canada\, and the UK. \nSadie plays on a very fine Italian violin made by Gioffredo Cappa in 1687.

How can arts students and emerging artists reimagine the careers they could pursue? What are the emergent\, entrepreneurial\, or unexpected career paths that arts grads have taken? A group of diverse arts trail blazers will share stories and lessons learned.

She is interested in how familial spaces appear through her own interactions within them\, through a digital archive and as recorded and memorialized in paint. The many lives of a landscape – how those lives and interactions change through the seasons of nature and life.  \n​ \nShe maintains her painting practice while continuing her work in community arts\, facilitating a local critique night\, working for various arts/culture organizations and co-founding an artist mentorship program for artists with developmental disabilities. \n​ \nPatrick Cruz is an artist\, educator\, and albularyo who considers the role of spirituality\, improvisation\, intuition\, and play as emancipatory tools to reify embedded colonial frameworks and ideologies in art making. Cruz employs meditation\, divination\, and hypnosis as research methodologies to exhume and retrieve hidden knowledge. His works are informed by the intersections of clown philosophy\, magic\, and the occult\, and its syncretic manifestations and relationship in contemporary life. Most recently\, Cruz has been making works using material retrieved from past-life regressions to navigate and side-step cultural and ancestral identity. \nIn 2021\, he received the prestigious Thirteen Artist Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines and won the national title for the 17th RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2015. He is an Assistant Professor in Studio Art at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and the Daniels Faculty.

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:between me and you
DESCRIPTION:Guelph Dance proudly partners with River Run Centre to co-present ‘between me and you’ by Heidi Strauss. \nA playful exploration of human complexities. A deeply moving and intimate solo dance work relaying vulnerability\, sincerity\, humour and surprise. ‘between me and you’ invites gentle audience participation\, exploring togetherness in an ode to the moments we have together\, and their impermanence. \nIn a physical language that grapples between uncertainty and openness\, the work explores togetherness and the slippage of time and memory. A meditation on the importance of listening to ourselves and each other\, the solo plays with the body’s archive\, trust\, and expectation. \nTickets are on sale now through River Run’s Box Office. Price ranges from $30 to $10 with sliding scale options. \n\n\n\nPhotos by JEREMY MIMNAGH
