Our next concert is coming up on Wed Nov 5 and we hope to see you there! This is a very special solo classical guitar recital by Alec Pearson, who has put together a program of Spanish, Italian, and Latin American music, plus one of his own compositions.

Do you have a child who plays guitar or is interested in learning? This would be a great concert for them and tickets are free for anyone under 19!

Join us for our season opener tomorrow! It's not too late to get tickets online tonight, and they'll be available at the door tomorrow (cash or cheque).

If you're a fan of traditional classical music, this one is for you: Diana and Roman will be playing Richard Strauss' beautiful Sonata in E flat major for Violin and Piano, plus works by Schubert, Lutoslawski, and Clara Schumann.

Tomorrow's concert will ALSO be your last chance to purchase season subscriptions! For those who have already bought subscriptions, they will be available for pickup tomorrow. If you're not attending tomorrow's concert, we'll hold onto them for you until the next concert.

Our first show of the season is sneaking up on us already! We're starting earlier than usual because we had the rare opportunity to host these amazing musicians while they happen to be in the area for the Hornby Festival.

Diana is Concertmaster of the Calgary Philharmonic, her husband Roman is an amazing pianist, and her father Franklin will be joining them on clarinet for one or two pieces. Quite a family affair!

Join us this Saturday, Aug 16 at 3pm at the Community Hall (early enough that you can go to the Stoney Pocket concert afterwards!)

Get your tickets at Talisman or online at: https://www.ptarmiganarts.org/programs #!event/2025/8/16/pi-concert-society-presents-diana-cohen-roman-rabinovich
