It is with great excitement that we would like to welcome you
to our fourth season! Once again we present recitals featuring
world-class musicians, many of whom have ties to Edmonton.
Our opening Brass Gala features one of Edmonton’s most beloved
musical “exports”, trumpeter Jens Lindemann performing with his
wife Jennifer Snow. Other artists that Edmontonians call their own
include Tanya Prochazka, Stephane Lemelin and the Edmonton
Symphony’s Music Director Bill Eddins, who is making his Edmonton
recital debut. We are honored to host another first for Edmonton
– internationally renowned soprano Jane Eaglen in our Vocal Gala
recital, co-presented with Edmonton Opera. We are also pleased
to continue our partnership with Holy Trinity Anglican Church in
presenting our Emerging Artist Series, featuring some of Edmonton’s
brightest young talent, which is presented free of charge to the public.
During these tough economic times, we realize that some may view
concerts as a luxury. However, we see them as being essential –
something which can uplift us all and brings us together in community,
allowing us to explore and celebrate love, life and creativity even in
difficult circumstances. Our recitals therefore remain accessible to
the public with no increase in ticket prices from last season. To be
able to do this, we rely on your continued generosity. Please consider
how you can support the ERS so that we may continue to present
world-class recitals. A special thanks to our many private, corporate
and government sponsors for your continued support.
We look forward to seeing you during the 2009-10 Season!
Aaron Au, President and Artistic Director
