Interesting Event This Week
The Edmonton Chamber Music Society is presenting Cheng2Duo at Robertson-Wesley United Church on Oct 14th.
Don’t be intimated by Chamber Music! Chamber music is best described as a type of classical music that uses a small ensemble of instruments, with no conductor. Instead, the performers take their cues from each other! It would have fit perfectly in a palace chamber - and is a really fun way to get introduced to classical music.
