Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson has been called “Iceland’s Glenn Gould” and the description of this 37 year old piano virtuoso, is somewhat fitting. Ólafsson is equally at home playing music of contemporary composers such as Daniel Bjarson and Phillip Glass, as he is playing the music of Bach and Rameau. Like Gould, Ólafsson is also not afraid to take advantage of what can be done in the recording process to create the maximum benefit for the listener.

A mental health expert is sharing how parents can connect with their child, even when they won't share what is going on. 

"Many times we see our kids struggling emotionally, our heart goes out to them and we want to help them," says Terry Warburton, Clinical Director at Recovery of Hope Counselling in Winnipeg. "We want them to talk about what’s going on.

This Sunday night at 7:30pm at the Winnipeg Arts Gallery’s Muriel Richardson Auditorium, the Winnipeg Chamber Music Society makes its long awaited return to the live in person concert stage.

They will perform two trios by Beethoven, his piano trio in C minor op.1 no 3, and one of his more iconic piano trios, the magnificent Archduke trio.

This Sunday November 14th at 3:00pm at Lutheran Church of the Cross at 560 Arlington Street, the Mennonite Community Orchestra will be putting on a concert that they are calling “Prairie Sunrise.”

The concert will also feature a brand new work for Orchestra by Canadian composer Anna Schwartz, and music from Mozart’s the Marriage of Figaro as sung by Soprano Johanna Klassen.
