Providing a safe environment for our guests, performers and staff has always been one of our highest priorities at the Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts. That is why following the most recent Alberta public health guidelines announced on Jan. 29, our current performance series has been cancelled. Despite the unexpected twists and turns this pandemic has brought, your Maclab team remains dedicated in our commitment to supporting the local performing arts scene and ensuring that music, dance and theatre thrive in our community. We thank you for your support and hope to gather once again in the near future.

Due to the current Alberta Health Services regulations, we have made the difficult decision to postponed the start of our season by two weeks. The kickoff to our 2021 season has been rescheduled to Feb. 3rd, where we hope you tune in and watch our first Wednesday Night Live show. For up-to-date information, please continue to keep an eye on our social media and visit our website at www.maclabcentre.ca

We are very sad to hear of the passing of Bobby Cairns. He was influential in the Edmonton region and an excellent supporting musician to many - including the River City Big Band who played with us earlier this year. #RIPBobbyCairns

Today’s #discoveryourinspiration staff pick comes from our Arts, Culture and Heritage Manager who’s musical journey has been inspired by countless people. One of them is former Edmonton Symphony Orchestra’s (ESO), double bassist, Rhonda Taft. When I was a child, my parents would take me to see the Edmonton Symphony and one of the performers on stage had the most beautiful hair I had ever seen in my memory it went all the way to the floor. Obviously, only a princess could p...ossibly have hair that long and beautiful, so that woman playing that giant instrument was clearly a princess. When I had the opportunity to choose my own stringed instrument, I chose the double bass, feeling quite certain this was my ticket to becoming a royal. I’m still waiting on that, but I have had a fantastical career as a musician that has taken me around the globe and allowed me to play on stage next to Rhonda Taft, who is the reason I play the double bass. Rhonda retired from the ESO back in 2016 after more than 50 years performing with them after being one of the youngest members to join the bass section in 1966. While you can no longer catch Taft with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, you can follow ESO with their digital series, Live at the Winspear: From Stage to Screen and re-watch some of their latest work at https://www.winspearcentre.com/livestreams/ Image from Edmonton Symphony Orchestra
