Late March & April Lineup

March 20: workshop of Dean Burry's opera-in-progress, "The Bremen Town Musicians". 12pm at the NAC Fourth Stage. It's a family (read: child-friendly) opera, so it may not be too envelope-pushing, but it's a great opportunity to see the process of art.

March 22: An evening of vocal music featuring Mahler's Kindertotenlieder, Debussy's Ariettes oubliées, an aria from Mozart's opera Mitridate, re di Ponto, and songs by Ives and Britten. Susan Lines (soprano), Carole Portelance (mezzo), Teresa van den Boogaard (piano), and Marlene Basarab (piano). St. Luke's Anglican Church, 760 Somerset West.
