Event Description

Live from the Rockies presents an afternoon of classical string mastery, featuring esteemed Banff Centre alumni and Edmonton Symphony Orchestra husband and wife duo of Keith Hamm and Julie Hereish, known together as The New Cohort.

Founded in the early days of the COVID 19 pandemic, The New Cohort was formed by Keith Hamm and Julie Hereish to explore chamber music possibilities while in household isolation. A deep dive into the repertoire for viola and cello has led to many performance engagements across Canada, including a recent 7-concert tour of Atlantic Canada in the 2022/23 season. Other appearances include performaces for Edmonton Symphony’s Stage to Screen series, Doors Open for Music at Southminster in Ottawa, The Homestage Tour for Rosebud Theatre, and Xenia Concerts. The New Cohort has also appeared in numerous festivals, including the Rosebud Chamber Music Festival, and the Sweetwater Music Festival.
