Opening Day!

As the officially opening of my museum is today, I would like to invite everyone to enjoy this collection of musical performance artifacts and recordings. It has been a great joy to be able to work on this project and I hope it brings back just as many memories for you as it did for me.

The first piece preformed with the Mount Allison University Symphonic Band in the beginning of my Mount A experience.

*The title taken from the idea of the musical work. It tells the story of a bull fighter.

Four Notes... Really????

The 2009-2010 school year saw the creation of a small opera ensemble. They concentrated on Samuel Barber's A Hand of Bridge and Tom Johnson's The Four Note Opera. Both works seem to be the "rib-tickler" of opera and spend most of the time poking fun of the genre opera itself and its general characteristics. The ensemble was formed by Lukus Uhlman, Jennifer Bernston, Sarah McKim and Eric Biskupski.
