WATCH: A new stage for creativity

August 20, 2024 -

Final touches are being added to the Desautels Concert Hall, which is scheduled for its premiere concert on Sept. 5.

We asked one current music student and one incoming student what they're most looking forward to about the new venue. Brady Barrientos and Sophie Caron also got to try out the stage in the (empty) auditorium!

From the gorgeous acoustics to the beauty of the venue, there was a sense of magic when the spotlight came up and the two performed on the stage for the very first time.

Watch the video to see their performances and hear that they said.

Featuring:

Brady Barrientos, vocalist, 5th year student, Bachelor of Music (Performance)

Sophie Caron, cello, incoming student, Bachelor of Music (Performance)
