Strings, Winds and Brass: An Evening of Chamber Music: One of the first concerts involving wind instruments since the pandemic shutdown, Edmonton Symphony Orchestra’s reimagined season includes Franz Schubert’s Quartettsatz, first performed posthumously in 1867 Vienna; Augusta Read Thomas’ Sun Threads, Movement 2: Invocations; Three Madrigals by Luca Marenio; with Mozart’s Wind Serenade No. 12 in C minor, which the composer referred to as “Nacht musique,” for dessert.

Only 100 people will be let into the giant, wonderful hall, and the bar is shut down, so you’ll have to cheers your return to classical music afterwards back at home — but what an exciting moment! Saturday’s concerts are already sold out, but Sunday’s one-hour program is still available — see you there!

Details: 4 p.m. Sunday at Winspear Centre (4 Sir Winston Churchill Square), $62 at winspearcentre.com

Kimberley MacGregor with Elliot Thomas: As with many resourceful musicians, the pandemic both hurt and helped local belter Kimberley MacGregor, as Tom Murray noted in his recent interview with her, where she praises her filmmaker friend Heather Hatch, who’s been assisting on the video side.

“You don’t need a grant or someone in the industry to justify what you do, you just need friends to make art with,” says MacGregor, so true. Still, there’s nothing like a live show, and so we have not one but two Saturday night, all safeties on, all emotions ready to fire, in these 50-capacity gigs.
