SUMMARY:Oscar Morawetz\, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Morawetz: Carnival Overture\nRobert Schumann: Cello Concerto\nGustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 \nRevel in the vibrant contrasts of Oscar Morawetz’s lively overture\, Robert Schumann’s lyrical cello concerto\, and Gustav Mahler’s celestial fourth symphony\, featuring the exquisite talents of cellist Bryan Cheng and soprano Lara Ciekiewicz. \nJoin us for an evening of contrasts and connections with music that ranges from the festive to the sublime. The concert begins with Oscar Morawetz’s “Carnival Overture\,” a lively piece that captures the spirited festivities of a carnival. This overture is packed with energy and charm\, setting the stage for a delightful evening. \nNext\, Canadian-born\, Berlin-based cellist Bryan Cheng returns to perform Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto\, a piece known for its lyrical beauty and innovative structure. Cheng’s previous performances with the WSO have been met with enthusiastic acclaim\, and his interpretation of Schumann’s concerto is sure to be a highlight of the season. \nKnown for his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut at 14 and performances with renowned orchestras worldwide\, Cheng continues to captivate audiences with his dynamic interpretations\, extensive recital highlights\, and critically acclaimed albums\, showcasing his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. \nThe concert concludes with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4\, a work that combines the classical charm of Haydn with the emotional depth of Beethoven. Winnipeg’s own soprano star Lara Ciekiewicz joins the orchestra for the symphony’s final movement\, singing of a child’s vision of heaven—a serene and joyful conclusion to the evening. \nAcclaimed for her “tour-de-force performance” in Manitoba Opera’s Susannah\, Ciekiewicz is celebrated for her dynamic and moving portrayals across genres\, earning her the reputation of an artistic chameleon. Her versatility and transformative ability shine through in her captivating performances on stage. \nFun Fact: Mahler’s Fourth Symphony includes sleigh bells in the first movement\, adding a whimsical touch that evokes a wintry landscape.

SUMMARY:Edzi'u: The Moose are Life
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver-based\, Tahltan and Tlingit Musician Edzi’U presents ‘The Moose Are Life’\, a visual sound installation that speaks to the disappearance of the moose in Tahltan Territory.\nThe low numbers of moose in Northern BC have been said to be from a direct result to over hunting in the area\, however\, the province of BC will not introduce limited entry hunting regulations. Moose counts aren’t showing much of decline\, but the fact remains: Tahltan aren’t seeing the same amount of moose. The piece speaks to our colonial inheritance of Indigenous peoples\, and the invasive  systems of capitalism\, colonialism\, and non-resident hunters in Tahltan Territory. \nThis weekend of immersion in to Edzi’u’s sound and performance world will feature a drop-in sound installation\, live performance activations of the installation\, and a guided walk.\n  \nSaturday \, April 19\n12PM – Welcome to Land & Territory with Deedra Ladouceur\, followed by a short music set by Edzi’u.\n1 PM – Opening of sound installation\, featuring ‘The Moose are Life’ Live performance by Edzi’u.\n2-4PM – Gallery Drop-In Hours.\n  \nSunday\, April 20\n12-1 PM – Gallery Drop-in Hours.\n1PM – Second Live performance of The Moose are Life.\n2PM: guided walk.\n \nEdzi’u is a Tahltan and Tlingit artist based in Vancouver\, Canada on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. An innovative songwriter and composer who paints stories of the past\, present and future with textures\, elders stories\, words\, and their ethereal voice – their 2023 album “Potlatch In The Box ” is a stunning showcase of that artistic vision. Being rich in culture\, full of passion and spirit\, the power behind their use of sound goes deep within the listener\, inspiring them to be bold and genuine\, while living fully within their hearts. \nDrawing inspiration from their roots and their experiences Edzi’u weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The album features a diverse array of tracks\, from the hypnotic the “Warrior Song” to the pulsing “Raven Clan Welcome” – they shine a light on the wrongs of the past\, including Canada’s ban on the Potlatch\, and how it affected their ancestors traditions\, culture and world.  That being said\, there is a balance in the new music – a hope – one that shines with their rich\, soulful vocals that has a style (and sound) like no other. \nWith “Potlatch In The Box” Edzi’u has established themselves as a major force in the Canadian music scene. Their innovative sound and thoughtful lyrics have earned them critical acclaim and a devoted following of fans around the globe. \n
