Concerts to celebrate Black voices

February 2, 3 and 4

UWindsor alumna Florine Ndimubandi will sing works by Black composers this weekend with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.

The Windsor Symphony Orchestra will kicks off Black History Month with four performances of classical and contemporary music written by Black composers for orchestra, and orchestra and voice Feb. 2,3, and 4.

All four performances feature violinist Lillian Scheirich, the orchestra’s concertmaster and violin instructor in the School of Creative Arts. Performances Friday at the Amherstburg Freedom Museum and Saturday at Sandwich First Baptist Church also feature vocalist and alumna Florine Ndimubandi (BComm 2020).

Under the baton of music director Robert Franz, Scheirich will bring to life a concerto by the swashbuckling 18th century composer, Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de St. Georges, known as “The Black Mozart.” Jessie Montgomery’s composition Shift, Change, Turn provides a new twist on the four seasons. Ndimubandi will sing Amazing Grace and Oscar Peterson’s 1962 Hymn to Freedom.

Find the full schedule of concerts and ticket information on the orchestra’s website.

University Players production offers depth, drama, and delight

Graphic image for 365 Days/365 Plays by Suzan Lori Parks, winner of a Pulitzer Prize for her work Topdog/Underdog.
 

Experience a unique and thought-provoking performance with University Players’ production of 365 Days/365 Plays by Suzan Lori Parks, winner of a Pulitzer Prize for her work Topdog/Underdog.

As a personal project, Parks took on the challenge of writing a play every day for a year, sometimes with only a few lines and sometimes with only stage directions. The resulting montage of short plays is a funny and provocative deep dive into the human condition, holding up a mirror to who we are and how we interact with our world. University Players students will perform over 40 of these pieces in their third production of the company’s 64th season.    Read more ...

365 Days/365 Plays opens at Essex Hall Theatre on Friday, Feb. 3, with a 7:30 p.m. performance and runs until Feb. 12. Recommended for ages 14+.
Tickets are on sale now at www.universityplayers.com. UWindsor students are eligible for tickets at just $10; regular price tickets start at $20.
