About the event
This concert will be a showcase of the secular music of Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672), featuring Musiklische Exequien (Funeral Music) Op. 7, SWV 279-28, considered a masterpiece of the Baroque period, as well as his famed madrigals an music from contemporaries such as Samuel Scheidt and Johann Herman Schein.
We are honoured to have early music specialist and music history scholar David Fallis conducting this concert. Over his stellar career, David was music director of the renowned Opera Atelier, Toronto Consort and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, performing, touring and recording extensively. In recent times, David has been a major advocate for the music of Dead of Winter's artistic director and composer, Andrew Balfour.
This is the third 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.
