Boreality in the Making!

Prairie Fire Press and the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra invite you to a short performance of a unique work in progress

March 9, 2010 at 7 PM
Aqua Books (274 Garry Street)
light refreshments served

Join Katherine Bitney, Sid Robinovitch and Ken Gregory as they collaborate on workshopping text, sound and music inspired and collected during the first year of the Boreality project. Although Mandy Malazdrewich is not able to be there this evening, some of her amazing photos will be shown during the performance. This fresh, spontaneous performance is a precursor to the orchestral piece slated to appear in the spring of 2011 as part of the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra¹s season.

"Boreality" is a multi-year collaboration between Prairie Fire Press and the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra. The purpose of this project is to celebrate the boreal forest of Manitoba through a multidisciplinary approach to writing, music, soundscape and photography which will result in a musical performance, a special issue of boreal forest writing, a boreal festival and art/sound installation. Boreality is made possible by support from the Winnipeg Arts Council¹s New Creation Fund, The Manitoba Arts Council, Manitoba Culture, Heritage and Tourism, and The Winnipeg Foundation.

Good Thunder Voice: A celebration of a Spirit in Flight

Join us for a celebration of the life of Elder Garry Raven, of Raven's Creek, Hollow Water First Nation, who touched so many of our lives as teacher, activist and spiritual leader. Garry went to the spirit world, in January, leaving us to remember him and his teachings. This event is a fundraiser to help cover costs associated with his funeral. It's, also, an opportunity to gather together and find comfort and enjoyment in each others company. Thanks to Mondragon, the musicians who are volunteering their time and everyone who helped put this together.

 

See you Sunday, March 14th.
