LA LUNA EASTERN SUMMER TOUR

We will be heading off to the East! 

If we don't ~MAKE IT~ in NYC, we will come home. I guess.

Tour kick off July 19th in Calgary, Alberta at Tubby Dog!

The Purple Room at FRAME, 318 Ross Ave.

Pregame Fringe presents: 

La Luna and OLD SEED with Madeira, Head Speaks Truth & Kezdet

$12     This show is All-Ages. 

La Luna (Calgary)- their first time back since changing their name from Brain Fever.

OLD SEED - Kassel, Germany favorite ex-Winnipegger Craig Bjerring (Boldface Industry/ VaGiants/Tangleshack).

Jean Louis Wittinger was a co-conspirator behind an earlier OLD SEED collaboration.

So it makes sense that two of his current projects are represented here:

Madeira - a post-punk goth take on rock'n'roll

Kezdet - 80's inspired electronic pop dance party

Head Speaks Truth - the drummer has got some sorta chops on him.

Conducted by Artistic Director Henry Engbrecht

The St. Matthew Passion is probably the greatest of the four Passions written by Bach and is scored for solo voices, double choir, treble choir and double orchestra. The Winnipeg Boys Choir, under the direction of Carolyn Boyse, will join Canzona for the concert. 

Canzona Choir's inspired collaborations with MusikBarock have brought to life many top quality productions.

The 25th Anniversary year celebrates Monumental Masterpieces and honours Artistic Director Henry Engbrecht, who will conduct both concerts. Engbrecht founded the 16-30 voice ensemble in 1989 inspired by his love of Baroque music.
