Welcome to our 2022-23 season!
We are thrilled to present a full season of concerts this year, after many cancellations due to the pandemic, and a shortened season in 2021-22.
The season will include performances by Trio de Montréal, the Lafayette String Quartet (in their final retirement tour – do not miss!), and Edmonton’s own High Level Trio. As always, we pride ourselves on featuring the amazing local talent we have, and we will have an array of Edmonton’s finest musicians performing on several concerts this season, including our Tanya Prochazka Memorial Concert, our In Remembrance show, as well as a special Oktoberfest event we are holding on October 16.
The ERS is also proud to feature the world premiere of two compositions this season by composers Robert Rival and John Estacio.
Looking forward to sharing our music with you, from Edmonton and beyond!
Sarah Ho
Artistic Director, ERS
