School of Music

On Thursday, November 6, the Acadia School of Music’s Concert & Lecture Series presents a recital by pianist Cindy Thong and cellist Edward Cho, featuring Beethoven’s 4th Cello Sonata, Debussy’s Cello Sonata and Barber’s Cello Sonata. 

Provoking thoughtful exploration of the interplay between tradition and innovation across centuries. Cindy and Edward will perform a program offering a clear look at three distinct musical voices – from Beethoven’s introspective depth and structural elegance, through Debussy’s impressionistic textures, to Barber’s modern lyricism.  

This event begins at 1:00pm in DENTON HALL AUDITORIUM 

Concert & Lecture Series events are free and all are welcome to attend – please join us! 

On Thursday, November 13, the Acadia School of Music Concert & Lecture Series presents a performance by Blackwood Trio: Jeff Reilly, Peter-Anthony Togni, and India Gailey.  

The Blackwood Trio will present works from their last two albums: "Passages" and "Lost and Found". They will also play works from their upcoming album "The Thin Veil", scheduled for release in the spring of 2026. Blackwood’s unique, dark and lyrical sound has the precision and clarity found in any classical ensemble, but also taps into the expressive freedom found in the improvisational gestures of contemporary jazz. Juno nominees Jeff Reilly (bass clarinet), Peter-Anthony Togni (piano/organ) and India Gailey (cello) explore plainchant, European jazz and contemporary classical techniques, developing a deep musical connection to create music that critics have called “sonically haunting”.

This event begins at 1:00pm in DENTON HALL AUDITORIUM.
