Celebrate two giants of the classical world.
Christine Bootland, cello & Musaeus String Quartet
Schubert and Mozart - these two composers stand head and shoulders above many of their classical counterparts. This concert showcases two string quintets far surpassing similar works with their sheer genius. Schubert’s quintet, his last, was praised as having “bottomless pathos”, and broke through the misconception that Schubert composed only songs and piano pieces. Mozart’s quintet, nicknamed “Dissonance” due to its unusually slow introduction, is perhaps his most famous. It was dedicated to Haydn, who said Mozart was the greatest living composer he knew. What better accolades could any composer wish for? What better repertoire to begin a new concert season?
String Quintet in C Major, D 956 by Franz Schubert
String Quartet No. 19 "Dissonance", K. 465 by W.A. Mozart

Casa is the realization of a 20 year dream, shared by many in the Lethbridge arts community, to expand or replace the Bowman Arts Centre. This unique new facility far surpasses the original vision for expansion, and sets a new standard for interdisciplinary arts centres. It is about experimentation, incubation, learning and growing. Casa was built to serve a multi-generational community, with varying art skill sets and interests in all disciplines of the arts.
Designing the building was a comprehensive and collaborative process led by Nyhoff Architecture from (Calgary) working in conjunction with the local architectural firm of Ferrari Westwood Babits. The Architectural team visited numerous arts education institutions and also met with members of the local arts community to define requirements for a truly functional 42,000 square foot art centre. The resulting building design is truly impressive.
Funding for the project were provided by the Federal Build Canada Fund ($6,000,000.), the Provincial MSI Fund ($14,900,000.) and the City of Lethbridge ($200,000).
