Acknowledging Hard Work

11/19/2014

I understand from the Winnipeg Music Festival that the recipients of the 2014 Camerata Nova Bursary are Marianne Sawatsky and Lukas Sawatsky.. As a board member of Camerata Nova, I would like to extend our warm congratulations to you all for the outstanding rendition of “Pleasures Banish Pain” from “The Triumph of Time and Truth” by Georg Frideric Handel.

I am pleased to invite you, Marianne, and Lukas, to a performance of our upcoming concert, Ghosts of Christmas Past, so that during her introductory remarks, our president, Sandi Mielitz, can invite the three of you to the front momentarily and acknowledge your achievements.

MANITOBA HYDRO PRESENTS

Sunday, November 23, 2014 at 3:00 pm

Venue: Westminster United Church (745 Westminster Ave)

Everyone in Camerata Nova loves doing our Christmas concert! We spend lots of time researching holiday music and, for more than ten years, we have been commissioning exceptional arrangements of well-known Christmas carols. This concert features a line-up of our favourites from past years. Like Camerata Nova, it will be weird and wonderful, sincere and soulful – a unique Christmas celebration! As always, you the audience will get a chance to play a critical role, singing the tunes and words the proper way before we take off on flights of fancy. O come all ye who are ready for fun and rejoicing!

Admission is free
(Please bring food for Winnipeg Harvest. Donations to Camerata Nova are welcomed to defray the cost of the concert.)--

2014-2015 Year off to a Great Start

The 2014-2015 season began in September with plans to enjoy another great year of music-making. Our first endeavour of the year was singing at Concordia Village assisted living apartments in their Sunday afternoon worship service on October 19th. The choristers enjoyed the appreciative audience and the treats that were provided at the end of the service. As it was a beautiful day we took advantage of the scenery with a quick photo-op.

Invitations have been accepted for Nov. 23rd at Joy Lutheran church, Nov. 30th for Winnipeg’s annual Christkindlmarkt and three performances at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Nutcracker, including singing at the Piano Nobile prior to those shows on Dec. 20th (evening), Dec. 23rd and Dec. 28th. A few more invitations are still being considered and will be added to the calendar upon acceptance.

We’ve had a great start to the year and are anticipating lots of wonderful experiences again this season.
