Winnipeg Free Press: IN FINE VOICE

The Winnipeg Singers will celebrate their 50th anniversary at the Crescent Arts Centre and offer musical highlights that have taken them from small school auditoriums in Manitoba all the way to Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudi’s famous basilica in Barcelona. The concert will feature conductors and singers from its past, including Bill Baerg, who founded the company in 1972, Mel Braun and Vic Pankratz, who teamed up to lead the Singers from 1995-99, as well as present-day maestro Yuri Klaz, who has conducted the choir since 2003.

REVIEW: Kelowna - Lessons & Carols

Kelowna, BC, Nov 27, 2022 …the singers suddenly transformed into handbells with a billowing undercurrent of running "dugga doo's". The laser-exact ictus signalled the basses to end with a single "mm" which warmed the hearts of the crowd. "Wow!" and "Beautiful!" were being said all over the house throughout the afternoon, it was nearly impossible for the audience to keep their exclamations to themselves, the Winnipeg Singers are just that good.
