Tour wrap-up!
Brandon is final stop for
Evelyn Glennie and MCO…

The Manitoba Chamber Orchestra is happy to present the innovative and compelling Dame Evelyn Glennie for a concert of the ages. From Vivaldi to a new work by Christos Hatzis, we take you on a musical tour of the centuries.

Music Director and Conductor Anne Manson has been on the road with Glennie and the band for a whirlwind tour of Western Canada, with gigs in places like Vancouver, Sechelt, Salt Spring and Edmonton. Manson is looking forward to the Westman performance with Glennie. “Dame Evelyn is just such an extraordinary performer and vibrant musician. She makes music so exciting and approachable.” Don’t miss it!
