Sask Celebration

Saturday

TCU Place

It’s an embarrassment of riches when it comes to accomplished classical music artists that call Saskatchewan home. The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra prides itself on promoting homegrown talent and that’s the focus of Sask Celebration. This concert will host the world premiere of Grammy-nominated arranger and composer Andrew Kesler’s Suite for the Prairies. Kesler was inspired to write the piece after being isolated at home in Saskatchewan during the pandemic. Pianist Godwin Friesen credits Saskatoon with launching his professional career and he’ll return with a performance of Prokofiev’s 3rd Piano Concerto. It’s a piece that earned Friesen the 2022 OSM Competition top prize. Violinist Véronique Mathieu is the David Kaplan Chair of Strings at the University of Saskatchewan. She will perform Sibelius’ Violin Concerto and all of it will be under the direction of Saskatoon-born conductor William Rowson. Tickets are $45 – $93 and the performance will also be available virtually at ConcertStream.tv for $21.

I Have No Idea.

March 14 – 24

The Refinery

You still have this weekend to see I Have No Idea. It is an honest look at adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from Saskatoon playwright Nathan Coppens. Coppens and actor Kristel Harder star in this heartfelt story showing people as they try to navigate the world of ADHD. It’s all the misunderstandings, frustrations and comedic moments that come along with a diagnosis. This play is made all the more meaningful as everyone involved is neurodiverse, both Coppens and Harder received ADHD diagnoses as adults. Coppens partnered with Listen To Dis’ Community Arts Organization and director Traci Foster to get this show on its feet. It’s tender moments, laughs, and music and the team hopes I Have No Idea. will bring more understanding and compassion for those who have ADHD. Tickets are $25 – $30.
