Saskatoon Community Bands Present: CHIAROSCRUO

Wednesday, November 5, 2025
7:30 PM / Broadway Theatre

Doors: 6:30PM. Showtime: 7:30PM.

Saskatoon Community Bands present CHIAROSCRUO featuring the Wind Ensemble under the direction of Nick Fanner, and the Jazz Band under the direction of Doug Gilmour.

Chiaroscuro – A term borrowed from the world of art, literally means from “dark to light”.  It is both a technique and a concept. It is a means of transitioning from shadows to light, or a means of creating contrasts. In a musical sense it can be the contrast of major to minor keys, the emotional contrast of louds and softs, or the change of tempo. The repertoire in this concert from both the performing ensembles will exemplify each of those techniques, providing for a truly exciting and energized listening experience. From the “dark” of The Lord of the Rings” to the uplifting almost angelic writing of Eric Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque” the contrast of the dark & the light has never been more apparent.

Event Date: Wednesday, November 5, 2025 – 7:30pm
Location: Broadway Theatre, Saskatoon
Tickets: $15 all ages; available from the Broadway Box Office or members of the Wind Ensemble or the Jazz Band.
