The new concert series, presented by Arts Mosaic, will show at Virden’s Aud Theatre between September 2015 and April 2016. Seating for this line-up of shows is assigned, with tickets going
on sale on Friday, May 29 at 11:00 a.m. at the CPR Heritage Centre; in-person sales only, for this day.
Christa Milne, Administrator for Arts Mosaic has just announced the line-up. Royal Wood comes on September 29.
He is a Canadian singer-songwriter, whose music has been featured in major television shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and even a SuperBowl Commercial.
On Novemer 17, Jesse Peters, a pianist and vocalist who travels with a trio, will play in Virden. His music has been heard as far away as China; and featured on TV shows such as Arctic
Air (CBC), Continuum (Showcase), Bitten (SyFy) and SEED (City TV).
The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra will play on December 9. Tickets for this event are sold separately or included in the large package deal.
On February 13, theatre goers can look forward to a Manitoba Theatre Centre production - always cream of the crop in live theatre.
On April 3, vocalist Lisa Brokop brings The Patsy Cline Project, a tribute to one of country music’s greatest ladies. Individual tickets go on sale in the fall and are cheaper with a VCI keychain. WSO individual tickets also go on sale in September and are not included in the VCI keychain.
Purchasing the full package now means one ticket is nearly free, along with a choice of seating.
Purchasing the partial series, a choice of three tickets, is still a $10 saving Milne explains the selection process for the concert series. She and others for Arts Mosaic attended the Showcase
in Brandon last fall, choosing two acts from there.
MTC is a yearly favourite, and the WSO always draws a crowd. The fifth show was selected through a different process. “I regularly receive emails and catalogues in the mail to
look through. We have a bigger choice that way,” says Milne. Last year, Ken Lavigne was chosen through this means.
