St John Passion POSTPONED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off the high of this weekend\u2019s festivities, it is with some heaviness that we make this announcement. Most of you may already be aware of the recent weather statement issued for Manitoba as a Colorado low approaches our region. Due to the precarity of these upcoming weather conditions, we have decided to postpone the St John Passion performance with the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, originally scheduled for this Friday, April 15. We are, of course, disappointed in this turn of events, but we would like to emphasize that we are not canceling the St John Passion performance<\/strong>. This event is very near and dear to our hearts, and we fully intend to present it at a later date that does not jeopardize the safety of our audience and performers. We are currently working to finalize this new date and will loop you in with all the details at the earliest convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this stormy situation. The show must\u2014and will\u2014go on, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead of Winter, Canzona, and Polycoro,
Winnipeg Baroque Festival Organizers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unprecedented collaboration between three Winnipeg choirs who are passionate about Baroque music: Canzona, Dead of Winter and Polycoro. Each choir will produce its own concert (April 8, 9 and 10, 2022) focusing on early music from a different region: Canzona<\/a> \u2013 England; Polycoro<\/a> \u2013 Italy; and Dead of Winter \u2013 Germany. The festival will culminate on April 15, 2022 with a three-choir performance of J.S. Bach\u2019s St John Passion<\/em> with Vancouver’s Pacific Baroque Orchestra<\/a>, masterful Baroque soloists Jane Fingler, Vicki St. Pierre, Haitham Haidar and Jonathon Adams, and a combined force of powerful Manitoba choristers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>: Performances will continue to run at a reduced capacity, as well as require that patrons wear facemasks and show proof of vaccination for all festival events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to evaluate this policy as circumstances evolve. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n
