Canzona, Dead of Winter & Polycoro: Bach's St. John Passion

CONDUCTOR: Kathleen Allan

Dead of Winter will join forces with Canzona and Polycoro for J. S. Bach’s St John Passion. This performance will mark the first collaboration between the three choirs and the first time the work has been played on period instruments in Manitoba. 

The epic choral work will feature Vancouver’s Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Baroque soloists Jane Fingler, Vicki St. Pierre, Haitham Haidar and Jonathon Adams, and a combined force of powerful Manitoba choristers. Bach’s St. John Passion will mark the beginning of a collaborative choral tradition intended to continue for years to come.

This is the second concert in the Winnipeg Baroque Festival. The Festival is a collaboration of three Winnipeg choirs who are passionate about Baroque music, Canzona, Dead of Winter and Polycoro.

For a limited time, early bird tickets for the entire festival are $60; full-price festival tickets are $80. Check out deadofwinter.ca to reserve yours today.
