The final, can you believe it, performance in the arts council’s 2012/13 season, The Magnificent Seven, takes place this Sunday afternoon, at 3 p.m. at the First Mennonite Church in Burns Lake.
Chinese instrumental ensemble Red Chamber plays ancient Chinese string band music blended with bluegrass and jazz fusion.
These virtuosic performers set the stage on fire with hot licks, power and passion. The quartet creates a unique sound, performing repertoire that spans centuries, from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) to modern compositions.
This is an exciting ensemble of masterful musicians bringing a new sound on ancient instruments to the concert stage.
Tickets for the final performance of the season are available, as always, at Process 4 circle arts Gallery, 250-692-3434 and at LDFC Printing and Stationery, 250-692-3309 - and at the door Sunday afternoon.
