Discovering the Amatis 2026-27 Season

Discovering the Amatis is a concert series showcasing the beauty of rare 17th-century string instruments in live performance. The Amati string instruments will be featured in a concert series presented by distinguished musicians from fall 2026 through spring 2027. The series has been curated by Dr. Véronique Mathieu (D.Mus), associate professor of Violin and the David L. Kaplan Chair in Music, a position made possible by a $2-million donation from USask alumni Xiaoping (Bob) Xu (MA’92, LLD’17) and Ling Chen (MA’90). All concerts take place in Convocation Hall (PMB 120, 107 Administration Place) on the USask campus beginning at 3 PM.
