Join us for a panel presentation and performance by the Edmonton Winds as part of the C2UExpo 2025! Community-engaged scholarship plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between academic institutions and community-based arts organizations, fostering mutual growth and understanding.

A community ensemble can provide the opportunity for a faculty to draw upon its resources with a primary focus on performing, visual and communication arts, and then to connect them with the outlet for participants to interact, learns and refine skills and share experiences that nurture a deeper understanding and respect by all parties involved. The faculty member or members have the potential to engage in meaningful research that supports their artistic scholarly activity, without altering their artistic practice. The community-based music ensemble works collaboratively with the academy in artistic creation.

There is also the potential for the student to be actively engaged in a work integrated learning environment that draws upon the mentorship from the academy and the community partner. It is the perfect tool for community engagement that creates a space where artistic expression, social interaction, shared experiences, and personal growth share the stage to create a positive outcome that builds valuable bridges between communities and the post secondary academy. MacEwan music faculty members Raymond Baril, Allan Gilliland and Paul Johnston, Associate Dean Rose Ginther, along with current students and members of the Edmonton Winds will speak to the value of their experience and conclude with a performance by the Edmonton Winds under the direction of Raymond Baril.

For more information or accessibility seating please call 780-497-4470, Tuesday to Friday, 2:00 to 5:00 P.M.
