This week's lunch concert will be replaced with The Music of Kenny Wheeler: A Symposium.

Gord Sheard, Brian Dickinson, Don Thompson, and JIm Vivian will discuss the life and music of the late Kenny Wheeler. Kenny, a Canadian composer and trumpet and flugelhorn player, was known for his jazz, but he was also active in free improvisation and even occasionally contributed to rock music recordings. Kenny wrote over one hundred compositions and was a skilled arranger for small groups and larger ensembles.

This is the first event in Composer Week celebrating Kenny Wheeler. The event is free and open to the public.
