Faculty members are also encouraged to bring their classes to eligible performances, where students can connect course content with live arts experiences and consider ideas through different disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUniversity is a time when students encounter new ideas, perspectives, and forms of expression, and the arts play an important part in that experience,\u201d says Gordon E. Smith, Professor and Isabel Director. \u201cWe want more students to see the Isabel as a place where they can gather, explore, and take a chance on something they may have never experienced before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Isabel\u2019s 2026-2027 season opens with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queensu.ca\/theisabel\/whats-on\/ensemble132\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ensemble132<\/a>, a collective of acclaimed soloists bringing a fresh approach to classical chamber music. Through original arrangements and programs that cross musical styles, the ensemble offers new interpretations of masterworks, symphonic favourites, and lesser-known pieces. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The season also includes Indigenous performances that coincide with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, alongside classical orchestras and soloists, opera, mariachi, big band music, and family programming. The Friday Nights in the Recital Hall series offers more intimate performances drawing on Indigenous, South Asian, and Middle Eastern musical traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Students can claim a free ticket for this performance, as well as for other eligible Isabel shows this season, by selecting the \u201cQueen\u2019s Student\u201d ticket type when booking. The ticket price will be reduced to $0 at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>Some seating areas or ticket quantities may be excluded. Availability is limited, and students may claim one free ticket per person for each eligible performance.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queensu.ca\/theisabel\/whats-on\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Isabel website<\/a> to explore the season and reserve tickets.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen\u2019s students can experience music, opera, dance, and other live performances at the Isabel Bader Centre for the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342588,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-342587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342587\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
