The Faculty of Fine Arts and Department of Music invite all ULethbridge alumni who were pianists or may be friends of our piano studio program to come Back to the Bench at the University of Lethbridge May 15 - 17, 2026. Join us for a full weekend of activities, masterclasses, and concerts with plenty of time to visit and share music with one another! Connect with old friends, faculty, and spend some time discovering new spaces and places on our campus. A lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same.
REGISTER HERE
This registration guarantees your participation in our weekend's activities. There is a limit of one registration per account, but you can list any family or partners who will be accompanying you at the check-out.
We will send a full itinerary of events to our registrants in the coming weeks. Please watch your email for important news and announcements!
