Canzona: Music of the Sister Queens

CURATOR/CONDUCTOR: Kathleen Allan

Music of the Sister Queens celebrates two of the most powerful women of the Baroque period with two great English works: Purcell’s Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary and Handel’s Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne. Purcell’s famous anthem, Hear My Prayer, O Lord, will be performed alongside a world premiere re-interpretation by Canadian composer Dorothy Chang.

This is the first 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.
