2012 Student Recital

I am pleased to announce the 2012 Student Recital, which will take place on Sunday, June 3 at 4:30 pm at Steinway Pianos Calgary. The event will be held in tandem with Adelheid Mancila Studio.

The recital will give students the opportunity to perform one of the pieces they have been preparing this year in a public setting. All students are asked to attend, even if they have decided to not play. There will be an array of music from jazz to classical, and instruments will include piano, clarinet, and saxophone.

This event will be free of charge for students, families, friends, and all others who would like to attend. Dress for students is semi-formal. We would ask that you please come at least 5 minutes early, and that you stay for the entire event, no matter when your child plays in the program. Some cookies and refreshments will be provided afterwards and there will be plenty of time to ask questions and have a look around!

Date: June 3, 2012 (Sunday)

Time: 4:30 PM (1-1.5 Hours)

Location: Steinway Pianos of Calgary (click here for address)

PS: The hall has been generously provided by Steinway Pianos of Calgary. If you are currently considering the purchase of a new piano, please check out their fantastic selection before or after the recital, and direct any questions you may have to their friendly staff members.

Interview on CBC The Eyeopener

I wrote a letter that got published in the March 27, 2012 edition of The Calgary Herald regarding the limited pedestrian access to the Peace Bridge.

This led to CBC Radio One contacting me for an interview on The Eyeopener to discuss the issue. They had me on at 7am and, although it was early, it was a lot of fun!

As a resident of Sunnyside who lives a stone’s throw from the river, I was more than excited to try out the Peace Bridge last Saturday. It is gorgeous.

However, what a shock that there is no legal, safe way for pedestrians to access the bridge from the north. The only way to get to it is to jaywalk and hike up a mountain of dirt and rocks, or walk to 10th Street and back. However, by the time one has walked this far, why not use one of the other two bridges that have been there for decades?

What a failure on the behalf of city planners who “integrated” this work of art into the surrounding com-munity. Someone is going to get hurt or killed trying to access the bridge.
