Cantus Borealis Broadcast on CBC

The Boreality Project continues with a broadcast and podcast on CBC radio.

" A few years ago, Prairie Fire Press teamed up with Manitoba Chamber Orchestra to launch a multidisciplinary arts project called Boreality. The first result of this collaboration is Cantus Borealis, an original composition for musicians and singers by Sid Robinovitch with words by Katherine Bitney and soundscape by Ken Gregory. The world premiere of Cantus Borealis occurred on April 13, 2011, performed by the MCO conducted by Scott Yoo and Winnipeg Soloists choir directed by Elroy Friesen. CBC Radio will broadcast this concert on Sunday, August 21 at 9:00 AM.

We invite you to tune in to CBC Radio 2 and listen to new music written to celebrate the boreal forest of Manitoba over all four seasons. You can also hear this work through CBC’s Concerts on Demand."

more Fisher River

We're home now. Last week we(the Boreality Project) spent the week in Fisher River . We visited with folks, spent some time hiking around Fisher Bay, had a moose meat and bannock lunch cooked at the Creeks on an open fire, participated in a sacred pipe ceremony, and generally looked around the area as part of our research into the Boreal forest. The folks out there were very friendly and supportive of what were are doing.
