International and domestic students at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ came together recently for an evening of cutting-edge music and cross-cultural exchange at the first perfomance in the at the Isabel.
Students, as well as faculty, staff, and senior university administrators, met at a reception before the musical performance – by Montreal's Collectif9 – and had a chance to hear about the string band's philosophy from one of its cellists, Andrea Stewart.
The series, which will feature Ashley MacIsaac, Measha Brueggergosman, and Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan in future events, is hosted by the Office of the Associate Vice-Principal (International) and the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.
In order to bring all students out for the upcoming events, organizers are asking faculties and units across campus to sponsor pairs of tickets, which will be distributed equally to international and domestic students to attend a performance together. The Isabel will then match each ticket purchased one-to-one (with the exception of the Ashley MacIsaac concert), with all tickets provided to interested students.
Full details are available on the . Faculties, departments, and units interested in sponsoring student tickets are asked to contact international@queensu.ca Ticket prices range from $14-$18.
