A New Eaarth: Music for Spring

5 May 2024, 3 pm
Crescent Arts Centre
(Crescent Fort Rouge United Church, Nassau & Wardlaw)

No, that’s not a typo in the title! It is named after the concert’s central work, composed by Robert Paterson in honour of famed environmentalist Bill McKibben, who writes that we may as well call this planet “Eaarth” because it is still recognizable but fundamentally different, as climate change is already underway. We are proud to partner with the International Institute for Sustainable Development and local scientists who will share the work they are conducting to address these important matters. Like the rest of the world, all of us in the Phil are touched by climate issues and this concert sings of our love, our concern and, ultimately, our hope for our planet.

Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart):

The Music of Sir Paul McCartney

17 March 2024, 3 pm
Cathédrale de Saint-Boniface

The Phil and musicians of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra celebrate the work of Sir Paul McCartney with his beautiful oratorio, Ecce Cor Meum. Premiered in 2001, it contains a moving elegy to his wife, Linda, who died of cancer as he was writing it. The Phil is proud to present the first Winnipeg performance, with guest artists Andrea Lett (soprano), Pembina Trails Voices’ Cantemus, conducted by Valdine Anderson, and Musicians of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. (And, we will probably not be able to resist including a few Beatles numbers!)

Online sales for this performance have ended. Limited tickets will be available at the door beginning 45 minutes prior to the concert.

Christmas with The Phil:
