CHRISTMAS EVE:

On Wednesday, December 28th at 7:30 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg will be holding their annual Scholarship Winners Concert. This year’s concert boasts six excellent young up and coming Manitoba musicians.

Throughout the week, Classic 107 will be introducing this year’s Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg Scholarship winners.

For more than 125 years, the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg has supported and encouraged young artists in their professional musical pursuits.  

On Wednesday, December 28, the organization presents over $11,000 in prize monies awarded to this year’s WMC Scholarship Winners.  

A cherished holiday classic returns to the Centennial Concert Hall this week. 

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet presents Nutcracker – a magical story with a ravishing score told through the beautiful and athletic art of dance. 

The new kids on the choral block, Nuovoce present their first concert of the 2022/23 season.  

Join the Winnipeg Early Music Society (WEMS) this weekend and experience the sounds and sights of Christmases of old, in a three-part series in the unrivalled Victorian parlour of Winnipeg's Dalnavert Museum. 

“Dalnavert has been very good to the Winnipeg Early Music Society,” says Kevin Scott of the Arminda Consort and member of WEMS. “We’re both historically minded so it was a natural fit.” 

Four horns of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Patrician Evans, Aiden Kleer, Caroline Oberheu, and Michiko Singh, joined Classic 107 in the studio to spread a bit of festive cheer!  

“Horns are the ultimate holiday instrument,” says WSO Principal Horn Patricia Evans.
