Diomira Concert

The UPEI Music Department is pleased to present the Debut Atlantic tour of Diomira on Tuesday, February 11 at 7:30 pm in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall at UPEI. Formed in April 2011, the trio's critically acclaimed literary and globally-inspired program was immediately recorded by the CBC and has since enjoyed repeated nationwide broadcast, garnering audience support for a style that balances sublime music-making with virtuosity. As part of their Debut Atlantic tour, Diomira will engage local young creators and composers to write music for the ensemble. These works will then be performed in concert, bringing a unique element to each community performance. Tickets are $15 for adults/$10 for students and seniors and are available at the door or in advance by calling 566-0507 or by email at music@upei.ca.

UPEI Blood Donor Clinic

UPEI will be hosting a blood donor clinic on January 30 from 11:00 am-3:00 pm at the Chi-Wan Young Sport Centre. This is an important clinic because of the lost donations this time of year due to illness. There is also an increase in the demand for blood as 8000 new PEI and NS donors are needed as part of the 160,000 new donors needed nationally. Appointments are recommended and may be made by calling 1-888-2-DONATE, (1-888-236-6283). Walk-ins are welcome. Contact Allen Veale, UPEI mobile clinic facilitator at 566-0988 for more information.
