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.

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

SUMMARY:Fall Improv Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Fall Improv Workshop Series by the Friendly Heretic Theatre Company\n\nIn the theme of shedding leaves and autumn transformation\, we’re offering an exciting workshop series! What does it feel like to loosen up rigid patterns and beliefs about theatre\, about improv\, and our selves? What are the unique rewards of trying on new characters and strategies? What are the unique rewards of honest improv\, whether it comes out as comedic or not? What discoveries can we make when we let go of what we think we know?\n\nFor 6 weeks we’ll combine improv theory\, games and scene work to bring out fresh perspectives. This series is just as much meant for those brand new to improv as it is for those with plenty of improv experience. We all have some firm-ish beliefs about this artform\, which means that we all have exciting new discoveries to make within it. In the spirit of improvisation\, the unique gifts of everyone who joins the series will help to shape it. The only prerequisites are: an interest to learn and explore\, an enthusiasm for camaraderie\, and the willingness to try something new (regardless of your current experience level).\n\nClasses will be taught by Kevin Nunn.\n\nKevin is a professional and brilliant improv performer and teacher on a decades long journey. He aspires to ignite the flame of improv passion in as many hearts as he can. He is all around good human with an autistic slant and an absolutely undying passion for improv theory and the art of discovery. Kevin now makes his living in a non-theatrical profession\, and in the spirit of separating art and commerce as much as possible he refuses to profit financially from teaching improv. Part lecture and part workshop\, his classes are participatory and inspiring as students join in an exploration of the expanding possibilities of improvisation.\n\nDates & Times: Mondays 7pm-9pm\, Oct 20th – Nov 24th\n\nLocation: 10Carden Shared Space\, in the Activity Room\n\nCost: Pay what you can\, even if that’s $0. We aspire to make participation in improv accessible to everyone. Similar classes in the area cost $10-$20 per. All of our proceeds go directly toward theatre company overhead and to fueling our local theatre community. All teaching and executive board efforts are volunteered.\n\nSign Up: Send us a message on our social media channels\, or an email to friendlyheretictheatrecompany@gmail.com.\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/friendlyheretictheatrecompany?igsh=MWN6b3E0NDhicDk1\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/19TvaHtgeV/

SUMMARY:Dave Riedstra - Folds in Our Unfolding Trajectories
DESCRIPTION:September 27 – October 12 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday September 27\, 2-6pm \nDave Riedstra is a Guelph-based artist who works with quiet sound. Folds in Our Unfolding Trajectories is a sound installation in which hanging wooden forms resonate with the acoustic space and ongoing activity of the Guelph Youth Music Centre atrium. Sounds and movement in the space interact with the position of the hanging objects\, changing the patterns of resonance that ring out through their quiet feedback. Audio processing monitors these changes and incorporates their movement into its own generative system\, further interacting with the sound. Gently incorporating human\, arboreal\, machine\, and other processes and histories into a mixture of present sound\, Folds in… weaves its own trajectory among those in the atrium’s ecosystem. \nThis installation is proudly presented in partnership with Ed Video Media Arts Centre and the Guelph Youth Music Centre as part of Ontario Culture Days\, Canada’s annual celebration of arts\, culture and heritage. The GYMC’s 2nd floor Atrium is physically accessible by elevator. \nThe artist acknowledges the support of the Guelph Arts Council in the development of this work.

SUMMARY:Judith Nasby on Rolph Scarlett
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 25 at 12 pm for a talk by Judith Nasby\, Curator Emerita and founding director of the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre\, now the Art Gallery of Guelph. Exploring the life and legacy of Guelph-born artist and pioneering figure in North American modernism Rolph Scarlett\, Nasby will trace Scarlett’s remarkable seventy-five-year career—from his early days in Ontario to his influential work in New York as an avant-garde abstract painter\, set designer\, industrial designer\, and creator of sculptural jewellery. \nKnown for his bold geometric abstraction in the 1930s and 1940s\, Scarlett was championed by Museum of Non-Objective Painting Director Hilla Rebay as her “greatest find\,” with over sixty of his works held in the museum’s collection. Offering insights shaped by her decades-long curatorial career and extensive research\, including her publication Rolph Scarlett: Painter\, Designer\, Jeweller\, Nasby will present a compelling portrait of a visionary artist whose contributions continue to resonate in the world of modern art. \nImage details: Rolph Scarlett\, Lyric Dramatic\, circa 1945\, oil on canvas. Gift of the Artist\, 1977 University of Guelph Collection at the Art Gallery of Guelph
