Arts & Culture

Manitoba Opera (MO) is marking their 50th season this year and what better way to begin the celebrations than with a ball?  

Scott Yoo is a musical dynamo: conductor, violinist, chamber musician, soloist, TV host, artistic director... he wears many musical hats.  

Perhaps donning a toque for the chillier weather north of the border, Yoo returns to Winnipeg, joined by another exceptional musician – flute player Alice Dade – not only a frequent collaborator, but, as well, his musical and life partner. 

The married pair will certainly bring a musical synergy to the Crescent Arts Centre stage when they collaborate with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday, November 9.  

The first Friday of each month, Chris Hall of McNally Robinson Booksellers joins Classic 107 with his picks in "What to Read!" 

The Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts (MCMA) strives to enhance communities by providing accessibility and excellence in music education.

And, moving forward, they will be doing so under the leadership of a new executive director. 

No need to go from door-to-door looking for musical treats! Keep the dial tuned to Winnipeg's Classic 107 – or use the Classic 107 app! – to hear some spooky selections! 

Throughout the day, hear music for all of the witches and wizards and ghouls and goblins out there. 

It all begins with Bach's iconic Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 in the 7 a.m. hour. 

Other selections include:

In partnership with Prairie Debut, the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg presents mezzo-soprano Camila Montefusco in concert. The Brazilian-born, Canadian-settled performer presents a program of songs based on the folk music of Canada and Latin America.  

To celebrate 20 years of creating art through dance, NAfro Dance Productions is hosting a four-day-long multicultural event.

From November 2-5, NAfro Dance will be hosting its well-known Moving Inspirations Dance Festival and Symposium, bringing together more than 25 culturally diverse dance groups from around the world to perform for Winnipeggers.

There will be virtuosity aplenty to begin the 2022-23 Virtuosi Concerts season.  

Montreal-based early music specialists Infusion Baroque present a thoughtfully curated program that shines the spotlight on works that were either composed or performed by women. 

The University of Manitoba has unveiled a new work of art at the Elizabeth Dafoe Library which depicts an Indigenous view of education.

At 3:30 p.m. today, in an attempt to strengthen its relationship with Indigenous communities, the University of Manitoba (UM) Libraries has added a new piece of art by Métis artist Val Vint to be displayed on the campus.

The Manitoba Chamber Orchestra’s milestone 50th season continues, welcoming another ensemble celebrating a golden anniversary: the Winnipeg Singers.
