The second annual New Hamburg Live! Festival of the Arts runs from June 2-6, 2010. The Festival will feature internationally known entertainers, as well as providing an opportunity for local artists, singers and authors to participate.
Initial plans include a Gilbert and Sullivan concert, a roots/folk concert, an art show, author events, big band concert, jazz and an encore of the hugely successful Sunday afternoon gospel and bluegrass concert featuring Ken Whiteley, Vicki St. Pierre, Charlene Nafziger, and a mass choir. Once again, the choir in the Sunday event will be made up of area choral singers who participate in the Saturday morning choral singing workshop led by St. Pierre and Whiteley, a superb opportunity for singers from the area to enjoy a great training and performance opportunity. In 2010, there will be one additional, optional choir workshop opportunity prior to the opening of the Festival.
Also returning from 2009 will be singers Daniel Lichti and Erin Bardua, both signed to sing in the Gilbert and Sullivan concert, and well-known actor and raconteur Barry MacGregor, who will be MC of the G&S event.
Tickets will go on sale in 2010. For updated information and more details as plans unfold, visit www.newhamburglive.ca.
New Hamburg Live! is in the process of incorporation as a Not for Profit Incorporation. |
