One generation into the twenty-first century, we’re going to revisit a period 50-70 years ago. Our guides, “ancestral voices,” are writers, journalists, academics — public intellectuals, in short— who had things to say about Canada and Canadians, and said them. They will include Pierre Berton, Northrop Frye, George Grant, Bruce Hutchison, Gabrielle Roy, and perhaps one other. Come and join the conversation!
Eileen Conway, a retired Anglican clergywoman, taught English at the University of Alberta for almost twenty years, chiefly to freshmen.

Russian composers often hold a special place in the history of western music. They joined the stream late and initially developed two contrasting approaches: one favoured the strong use of Russian folklore materials and was influenced by non-Germanic composers such as Liszt and Berlioz; the other was more closely connected with the more conservative Germanic tradition, although the two approaches mixed in interesting ways. We will explore music by Balakirev, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Mussorgsky, who aligned themselves with the former approach. The music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, both of whom studied in conservatories founded by the Rubinstein brothers in St. Petersburg and Moscow, illustrates elements of the second approach, with inescapable evidence of influence of Russian folk materials.
