Brandon University (BU) musicians will take centre-stage when the Brandon Chamber Players (BCP) bring live music back to the Lorne Watson Recital Hall.

The featured performers will all be BU School of Music faculty members or Eckhardt-Gramatté Conservatory of Music instructors when BCP holds its Sing & Strum concert on Saturday, Feb. 12. There will be two performances, beginning at 3 p.m., and 7:30 p.m.

After cancelling the 2020-2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BCP is thrilled to return to the stage with a full season of exciting concerts. The debut concert for the 2021-2022 season will feature both new and familiar works by Jessie Montgomery, Jennifer Higdon, and Carl Maria von Weber. The performance features a full line-up of local musicians: Catherine Wood, clarinet; Nancy Hennen, flute; KerryDuWors, violin; Josias Sanchez, violin; Robert Richardson Jr., viola; and Leanne Zacharias, cello.

To accommodate social distancing guidelines, concerts will operate at a significantly reduced capacity. All attendees must provide proof of vaccination and ID at the door, and wear masks at all times. Tickets must be reserved in advance and are available by contacting the Brandon Chamber Players through their website or by calling the School of Music office at 204-727-9631. Seating is extremely limited, so it is recommended you reserve tickets well in advance. Concertgoers with reservations can pay at the door. General admission is $40, and $20 for students.
