2021 ROTARY SCHEDULE Rev1.Pdf Please join us on our Facebook page for daily sessions we’ll be sharing with our community, and on Friday, March 19 for the Rose Bowl and Sunday, March 21 for the Stars of the Festival Concert Live Streams! Welcome to the 66th Annual Medicine Hat Rotary Music Festival! (sponsored by the Medicine Hat Rotary Club) in affiliation with The Alberta Music Festival Association “In Music Festivals, the object is not to gain a prize, nor to defeat a rival, but to pace one another on the road to excellence.” – Sir H. Walford Davies We’re so glad to welcome all of our participants to the 2021 Festival! Chairman’s Message 2021 Welcome to the 66th Medicine Hat Rotary Music Festival! It seems that much more than a year passed since our last Festival. Many of you would remember that our last Rose Bowl ended up being with the limited audience and most of us watched it on our Facebook pages. The Stars of the Festival event was canceled. So much changed in our world since our last meeting. Fortunately, one thing didn't change and that's music. For many of us, music is now more important than ever. The month of March remains the constant, as the winter is holding back and the spring is pulling forward. It's also the month, during which, Medicine Hat is going to live for music. The music, that beautiful gift to humankind. It means a different thing to different people. For some, "music can bring cultures into a universal conversation that is beyond intellect or reason, but which is heartfelt." For some "it takes us into a world apart, a world beyond self and ego, the place of emotion that touches the soul". The music transcends all description. It touches each of us in a very unique way. As a child, I was a music lover. I was surrounded with music. Music has been there for my different moods and different occasions. Upon my arrival to Medicine Hat, I couldn't help but notice the extraordinary talent that this city possesses. Music is performed in churches, schools, cafe bars and music halls. The number of young people enrolled every year in the Music Festival is a direct reflection of that. Many participants achieved successful careers in music and theatre. Rotary Music Festival wouldn't be possible without our Medicine Hat Rotary Club and its dedicated members. They devote their resources, time and energy in a unified effort that makes this Festival possible. The preparation for this year's Festival actually started in the fall, when our committed and enthusiastic Executive Director Delynne Lorentzen started preparations for early registration. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to change our plans and started preparing for the "virtual" Festival. Thankfully, with Delynne's creative thinking and organizational skills, new plans were successfully developed. Every year the adjudicators chosen for this Festival are excellent educators and sometimes, also accomplished performers. They will not only adjudicate the performances, but more importantly give the performers valuable insight into the beauty of music and the secrets of "trade". We, sincerely thank them for being the part of our Festival! Especially this year, we thank the teachers and families for supporting the youth, encouraging them to participate in the Festival, to strive to do better, and push their limits. Big thank you to Patrons, Corporate Sponsors, Advertisers and Sponsors of the awards! Without your financial support this event wouldn't be possible. Special thank you to numerous community volunteers. Your selflessness and dedication is greatly appreciated. In closing, I would like the thank Medicine Hat News and our local radio and TV station for their ongoing support. Best wishes to all our participants! Milan Vujović Chair, Medicine Hat Rotary Club Music Festival _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Medicine Hat Rotary Music Festival Committee recognizes and thanks the many amazing instructors who work so diligently to ensure the life-long love of the arts in the youth of our community.

Most of us say “that wasn’t too bad, at least it is a dry cold.” For the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the start of spring brings us much enthusiasm about the season offerings for the coming year, but it also gives us extra appreciation for the concerts we are able to attend in the spring. I am looking forward to hearing Gwen Hoebig and Karl Stobbe perform Bach’s Double Concerto followed by the monumental Bruckner’s 9th Symphony. The partnership with Rainbow Stage continues with a wonderful performance of A Chorus Line, we perform great choral masterpieces at St. Boniface Cathedral in recognition of the anniversary of the diocese, and we welcome exciting young pianist Luca Buratto to the WSO. And, of course, we look forward to a performance with the irrepressible Al Simmons, our local genius. What else can we anticipate in the months to come? Well, the annual Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Spring Gala on April 26 will move to the Centennial Concert Hall and Alloway Hall this year. The event will be connected to an exclusive performance of the orchestra and cast members from Cirque de la symphonie. Gala events are wonderful ways to celebrate as a community of WSO supporters, but attending the gala is not the only way to support the legacy of symphonic music in Winnipeg.You can enter the Symphony Sweepstakes, make a donation to the WSO Friends or Maestro’s Circle Programs, or remember the WSO in your estate planning.

  • 2 a Word About This Concert
    A WORD ABOUT THIS CONCERT: November 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of the First World War. Hypatia’s Voice Women’s Choir of Ottawa and the Parkdale United Church Or- chestra have commissioned Canadian composer Christine Donkin to create a new work for choir and or- chestra commemorating the centenary of Armistice. This brilliant and moving new work focuses on wom- en’s perceptions of war, drawing on texts that reflect the wartime experiences of three Canadian women: French-Canadian Blanche Bessette, English-Canadian Nellie McClung, and Edith Monture, a Mohawk First World War Veteran who was the first Indigenous-Canadian woman to become a registered nurse. This commission’s premiere tonight forms the keystone of a moving program of music featuring reper- toire that celebrates peace and freedom, with works for choir and orchestra that look deeply into universal truths surrounding the heartbreak of war, and the pain of separation and loss. A musical journey across Europe and time, the concert incorporates an orchestral and choral medley of wartime songs with a narra- tive that speaks to the range of perspectives and emotions involved in this conflict and the end of hostili- ties. Enjoy the show! —Cheryl Farris-Manning, Chair of HYPATIA’S VOICE WOMEN’S CHOIR OF OTTAWA; and Liane Luton, President of PARKDALE UC ORCHESTRA. 2 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2018 at 7:30 P.M.
