Last weekend was all about music! I attended three concerts by Edmonton musicians.
Vertex Quartet
On Friday night, this local women's string quartet played a wonderful program of works by Beethoven, Clara Schumann and Robert Schumann. Special guests Bethel Balge from Minnesota accompanied the Quartet on grand piano and Ian Liu played a Bach cello suite.
Excentrica Women's Chamber Chorus
On Saturday, I attended Excentrica's Spring Concert specifically to hear them perform Pergolesi's baroque masterwork Stabat Mater, a particular favourite of mine. They also performed several delightful madrigals and a fun jazz version of the Bach Cantata Wachet Auf (Sleepers, Awake).
Doug Berner Trio
And finally, Sunday afternoon was spent relaxing at the Jazz and Reflections concert series listening to the Doug Berner Trio's smooth jazz stylings. The perfect way to cap off my musical weekend!
