A baroque treat: Dixit Dominus!

Roy Goodman returns to the MCO podium for a special all-baroque concert with his former orchestra and The Winnipeg Singers, featuring Handel’s Dixit Dominus as a focal point. The setting of Psalm 110 is resplendent with colour, vocal virtuosity and driving energy.

The Winnipeg Singers

The Winnipeg Singers, under the direction of Yuri Klaz, is Winnipeg's premiere choir and has long been regarded as one of Canada's finest choral ensembles. The choir is a frequent guest of the MCO. Soloists have been announced: Marni Enns, soprano 1; Karis Wiebe, soprano 2; Kirsten Schellenberg, alto; Floyd Gadd, tenor; and David Klassen, bass.

Roy Goodman

It has only been three seasons since Roy Goodman’s busy European schedule forced him to relinquish his post as MCO Music Director and Conductor. Presently, he is Principal Guest Conductor of the English Chamber Orchestra and Artistic Leader and Conductor of the Bachkoor Holland, accompanied by the Royal Concertgebouw Kamerorkest. Welcome him ‘home’ at this concert!
