Baseball Home Opener This Weekend

Spring is in the air and the robins (wearing a sweater) are in full flight.

It’s baseball season and your Griffs are hosting St. Peter’s in their conference and home opener this weekend. The two squads meet in an 11 a.m. doubleheader on Saturday before squaring off in game three at 12 p.m. on Sunday.

Canisius sprints into action this weekend with the MAAC’s best non-conference mark at 14-5, while the Peacocks are 5-7. Your Griffs have won five straight after sweeping a four game set at Ohio University last weekend.

Canisius College Chorale To Perform in St. Stephen’s, Grand Island

The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2012-2013 Sacred Spaces Concert Series with a performance on Sunday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Stephen’s Church, 2100 Baseline Road, Grand Island, NY.

The program is free and open to the public. It will feature works of Vivaldi, Hogan, Hairston, Praetorius, Dawson and others.

Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed seven years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our region’s present and former churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly thirty houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.

Now in its fifteenth season, The Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 120 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church, and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Please join us for a lovely evening of great choral music for all ages.
