MB Legislature Noon-hour Concert

The Matheson Island School Fiddlers performing in 2013

Our awesome Grade 4/5 choir has been selected to sing on the grand stair case at the noon-hour Manitoba Legislature concerts on Wednesday, April 23 to celebrate music across Manitoba.  Details to follow but here are some new pieces we are working on.





This gentle original setting of an eleventh-century Japanese text captures the mystery and flavor of ancient Japan and frames the middle section, which is in English. Haunting melodies and simple harmonies are complemented by optional chime tree and rain stick for a distinctly Asian mood. (jwpepper.com)
