PODIUM 2022 Choral Festival | Dead of Winter
May 21, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
$40.00
Dead of Winter – formerly known as Camerata Nova – is a vocal ensemble located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since 1996, we have been engaging and transforming music lovers with an annual concert series alongside a host of other innovative projects. We emerged from the isolation of our pandemic cocoon with a new name and a bold new identity. Dead of Winter is about powerful voices that tell stories, weaving together the talents of emerging and established artists. We support and collaborate with creatives from all backgrounds. We reimagine choir and performance, live and online. We are a platform for original work to be discovered and for early music to be rediscovered. For us, winter is a season for creativity and rebirth. Who knows what treasures await beneath the frozen landscape at the center of Canada?
Captive is the third in a series of Truth and Reconciliation concerts created by Andrew Balfour to acknowledge and honor the pain, sorrow, and beauty of the experience of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. The title of the show is its theme.
In February 2020, Dead of Winter hosted a composer gathering in Neubergthal, Manitoba at which Indigenous composers Andrew Balfour, Eliot Britton and Cris Dirksen came together to workshop their ideas. Then COVID-19 hit. This has only strengthened their writing. Andrew and Cris have each created works in several movements into which Eliot has woven his electro-acoustic magic.
