Classical music fans have the opportunity to take in a chamber music concert at the Marysburg Assumption Church on Sept. 19.
The Elixir Ensemble is a quartet with piano, violin, cello, and viola. The ensemble has been playing together in Saskatoon for six seasons. The ensemble plays traditional works by artists such as Beethoven and Brahms, but pianist and artistic director Kathleen Solose said the group also seeks out more unusual works in order to broaden the experiences of the audience.
鈥淚t鈥檚 the best of classical music,鈥� Solose said. 鈥淲e call ourselves Elixir because it makes us feel good and it鈥檚 really an exlixir for the soul as well, rousing our emotions, communing with composers.鈥�
Solose said their repertoire is very passionate and lyrical.
鈥淚鈥檇 say it鈥檚 a treat to hear live music because you don鈥檛 hear a lot of live chamber music in this area, so people should take advantage of it and take advantage of how exciting it can be,鈥� Solose said.
The concert takes place at the Marysburg Assumption Church at 7:30. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased at the door or through their website at elixirensemble.com.
