? Friday \u2014 September 17, 2021, 7:30 PM EST
\n? LINK<\/a>
\n? $30<\/p>\n

While Ontario is still limiting public events due to the pandemic, orchestras like the Hamilton Phil have been extra imaginative in programming smaller chamber music concerts around the community. Tonight, we recommend coming down to the Royal Botanical Gardens in the hamlet of Waterdown. You\u2019ll see violinist Stephen Sitarski lead a string quartet in a program of Beethoven, Grieg and Musgrave. It\u2019s a beautiful space, so come early to have a tour. | Details<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re open for a weekend trip, we recommend Wesben for their annual Festival that has opened this week. You can start with a trip out to Mary West Nature Reserve just outside of Westben for a guided sound installation by Northumberland Music Studio owner and Westben Sound Engineer Andy Thompson. Once you\u2019re done, stay and take in a concert or two from Leahy<\/a> (2 p.m.), and Laila Biali<\/a> (7 p.m.) | Details<\/a><\/p>\n

? Saturday \u2014 September 18, 2021, 6 PM EST
\n? LINK<\/a>
\n? $15<\/p>\n

Iconic as it is, it\u2019s not the Beethoven we\u2019re that caught our eye. It\u2019s violinist James Ehnes and the other works on the bill that make this concert worth seeing. Canadian songwriter and composer Sarah Slean has a new arrangement of Lili Boulanger Nocturne for Violin and Orchestra. Jessie Montgomery\u2019s Strum for string orchestra borrows from American folk idioms to create a nostalgic narrative that turns to a colourful celebration. Ehnes closes the program with Sarasate\u2019s classic Zigeunerweisen. You can catch it live online or in-person<\/a>. | Details<\/a><\/p>\n
