Praetorius Project - An early Christmas Mass

Crescent Fort Rouge United Church
(525 Wardlaw Ave. at Nassau St. N.)
By far our most ambitious undertaking ever! Camerata Nova and Canzona are partnering to offer two performances of the glorious
Christmas Mass by Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). The Mass, which offers storytelling,
drama, large choruses, eight soloists and 18 instrumentalists, will be presented just as
it would have been on a Christmas morning in Germany in 1620, using the styling and
instruments of the time. For this Winnipeg first, early music conductor Ross Brownlee
will collaborate with musicians from Winnipeg and Brandon as well as with top early
music instrumentalists from Montréal. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear
(and participate in!) an authentic early music performance!
Conductor: Ross Brownlee
Individual ticket prices: Adults $25, Seniors $22, Students $10
