Bridge Brass Quintet
The Bridge Brass Quintet was founded in 1989 as a part of the Lethbridge Community Band Society and since that time has performed a multitude of concerts, weddings, church services and community events. In 2019, the Quintet travelled with the LCBS ensembles to Scotland where it performed in the magnificent St. Giles Cathedral in the beautiful Troon Cathedral. Also in 2019, they organized and participated in CancerBlast, a fundraising concert which raised more than $40,000 in support of cancer research at the University of Lethbridge.

Air-Dry Clay Vases with Angeline Simon
Angeline Simon is a multidisciplinary artist from Lethbridge, Alberta. She graduated from the University of Lethbridge in 2018 with a BFA in Art Studio. Influenced by her Malaysian-Chinese and German ancestry, Simon explores familial narratives and the dynamics within contrasting cultures. The physical distance from family members and a lack of participation in both German and Chinese cultural traditions is the main reason for Simon’s investigation into her ancestral past. Simon reflects on her heritage by incorporating techniques of collage. Her work has been exhibited at galleries and institutions including The PLATFORM Centre for Photographic + Digital Arts, Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, Contemporary Calgary, Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Casa, Trianon Gallery, and the University of Lethbridge Dr. Foster James Penny Building.
