Red Deer library hosts free recorder-piano concert Oct. 1
Musicians Anya Delafield and Rain Zhang will perform classical works at the Red Deer Public Library's downtown branch as part of its long-running First Thursday concert series.
The Friends of the Red Deer Public Library will present a free concert featuring recorder player Anya Delafield and pianist Rain Zhang on Thursday, October 1, 2026, from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the Snell Auditorium at the library's downtown branch.
Delafield's program will include recorder works by composers Satie, Telemann, Bach and Vivaldi, with accompaniment from Zhang on piano.
The library is asking attendees to pre-register online, noting that seating is limited and standing room may be offered if the event fills up. For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be live-streamed on the library's YouTube channel and through its First Thursday concert webpage.
The event is part of the library's ongoing First Thursday concert series, which relies partly on public donations to cover musician fees. Cheques made out to the Red Deer Public Library with a 'concerts' memo qualify for a charitable tax receipt.
