Lakes District Arts Council (LDAC) hosted its first live performance in 22 months at the ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake Community Church in mid-January. The classical piano and violin duo Meagan and Amy delighted a COVID-sized audience with works of the classical repertoire, and pieces by contemporary Canadian composers.
Those enthusiastic folks who were able to attend were entertained and obviously happy to be back to live performances in ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake. It was a bittersweet evening, because many audience members are not yet ready or able to attend live, indoor concerts right now.
Congratulations to the lucky audience members who won door prizes at the Meagan and Amy performance; Betty Stewart, Dave Eggleton, Sue Chretien and Ron Miller.
Now, Lakes District Arts Council will present the next show in its 2022 mini-season on Friday evening, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. precisely in the Lakes District Secondary School multi purpose room. We welcome back local audience favourites, the Montreal Guitar Trio paired with the California Guitar Trio
The Montreal Guitar Trio (MGT) and the California Guitar Trio (CGT) have united to form an electrifying ensemble. Six exceptional guitarists offer a joyful tsunami of sound, performing classical, pop, world and movie music.
