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."

The completion of the second leg of the Boreality Project is only two weeks away. I just dropped off the final master tapes for my contribution to Sid Robinovitch's concert work for the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra.

The series starts with a concert in Hollow Water on April 11, followed by another concert in Pine Falls on April 12 and then finally a concert at Westminster Church in Winnipeg on April 13.
