      The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and UBC School of Music have announced a batch of fall 2021 performances--with live audiences--in the Chan Shun Concert Hall. 

      Performers include vocalist and baritone-ukulele player Desirée Dawson (Sept. 24), clarinetist and UBC Music faculty member Jose Franch-Ballester leading a night of tango music and dance (Oct. 1), Filipinx rapper and singer Kimmortal (Oct. 22), Afro-Cuban folk band Locarno (Oct. 30), and mezzo-soprano Marion Newman and Friends (Nov. 20).

      “From emerging talents who demand our attention with their powerful voices, to local bands playing energetic Latin rhythms, to stellar student performances led by some of North America’s most renowned music faculty—there is something for everyone," says Pat Carrabré, director of the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and UBC Music, in a press release.

      "We are also excited to announce the first performance in our Chan Centre Curated series led by visionary mezzo-soprano Marion Newman," adds Carrabré. "Her series, focusing on Indigenous artists, will continue in spring 2022—lots to look forward to. As we emerge from a period of time that challenged us all in many ways, I invite you to gather together once again and enjoy the incredible experience of watching a live performance with others. There is still nothing quite like it.”

      Also announced were the Wednesday Noon Hours concerts, which feature classical and chamber-music performances by the Ad Mare Wind Quintet (Sept. 22), Silk Road Music (Sept. 29), Vancouver Brass Orchestra (Oct. 6), Four Jays (Oct. 13), 44th E-Gré Competition Winner (Oct. 27), There is a Season (Nov. 17), and Brian Wendel (Dec. 1).
