Noon Hour Free Live Music
Dalhousie’s Fountain School Noon-Hour Music Series
Get a snack into you and then grab a seat and enjoy free live music from Dal performing arts students at our Noon-Hour Recital Series. Throughout the season, you'll hear everything from classical favourites to contemporary works performed by Dal student singers, pianists, guitarists, string players, brass and woodwind musicians, saxophonists, percussionists, composers, jazz artists, chamber musicians, and more.
Discover new music, support student performers, and experience the incredible range of talent in our music programs.
Most performances take place in the beautiful new Joseph Strug Concert Hall, 1385 Seymour St., with select recitals held in the attached Dal Arts Centre and partner venues around Halifax.
Free. Open to everyone. No reservations required.
