Spirit
Spirit is an improvisational arts ensemble, performing and improvising the music of all periods, styles and composers. The focus on improvisation emanates from a belief that the performer of composed music develops heightened musical understanding and insight when offered an opportunity to emulate the compositional process through improvisation. Spirit, therefore, performs and improvises on the great contemporary works.Open public rehearsals are offered once each month at which the audience is invited to dialogue with the performers. Through performance, composition and improvisation, Spirit draws its inspiration from the mission of the Music and Music Education Department which "embraces humanistic values as they relate to contemporary musical and educational life while respecting the musical traditions of the past".
