Music at Convocation Hall

There are concerts in Convocation Hall, which Marcela Požárek, a colleague from Wirth, drew my attention to. Tonight Martin Riseley (from New Zealand) and Janet Scott Hoyt (Alberta born) played three sonatas for violin and piano by Johannes Brahms (Opus 78, 100, 108). Three more concerts in January will be dedicated to the music of Hindemith, Wilder, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov and others. In former days (prior to WW II) organ recitals were given on the University Memorial Organ in Con Hall.

As almost everything nowadays, also these music events are being evaluated. I am always fascinated by questionnaires that try to find out why one was attending an event, where one heard about it, what could be done to attract even more visitors to such events, how one feels about the price, what one liked best and what least, and if one has any other comments. Last but not least, one can rank and rate the performance, the program, hall, seating, parking and public transit. Amazing!
