SUMMARY:Workshop with Maryna Salagub: “Opishnia Ceramics in Watercolour”

Inspired by Maryna’s residency research\, they will explore traditional animal forms\, earthy colours\, and decorative motifs. Through step-by-step watercolour guidance\, participants will create their own painting\, inspired by an archival Opishnia ceramic figure.

SUMMARY:Benedict Sheehan’s ‘Ukrainian War Requiem’ — The National Tour
DESCRIPTION:Edmonton’s own Axios Men’s Ensemble\, in celebration of their historic Juno award\, for Classical Album of the Year (Large Ensemble) for the recording of their Ukrainian War Requiem\, has announced a national tour of nine Canadian cities this November. \nComposed by two-time Grammy-Nominated Benedict Sheehan\, this monumental choral work spans 12 impactful movements that seamlessly blend modern musical styles with ancient chants and traditional Ukrainian motifs. The choral tribute serves as a powerful musical reverence for those affected by the war\, offering solace and strength to the living and the grieving\, and ultimately providing a solemn space for remembrance and prayer through a skillful and heartfelt tribute to Ukraine and her people. \nConducted by Maestro Michael Zaugg\, the choir will feature over 50 performers from Axios Men’s Ensemble and Pro Coro Canada\, including acclaimed international soloists from North America\, Europe\, and Ukraine. More than music\, the Ukrainian War Requiem is a sombre journey through grief and loss\, acting as a fervent reminder of the enduring grace of the human spirit. Secure your seats to join us for an evening of sacred reflection and hope. \nDoors at 6:30.
