So, I'm ready to soak up some serious musical vibes and set a goal of taking in at least three major concerts this next season, hopefully more! I say three because I should have no excuse to not pull this one off. There is a lot to choose from for affordable prices out there if I take the time to look. Plus, I'm going to up the ante by making sure that my son takes in at least one of those together with us. It is so important for children to not only hear music played through a stereo or Ipod, but to also see it performed live and learn how it is that the performers create these wonderful sounds that they're hearing. Personally, I'd love to see if "The Nutcracker" is playing somewhere for the holidays. I encourage you to do the same!
To start, there's the season opening concert through the Steinbach Arts Council featuring The Three Baritones in Il Primo. I'd love to check it out and invite you to as well. They'll be playing at the Grace Mennonite Church in Steinbach on September 29 at 7:30 pm. You can read a little synopsis on them or check out the Steinbach Arts Council website to get your tickets. Bonus feature is that they are giving discounted rates for all music students from any school, any age, for only $5.00 each! Their goal: To encourage students to attend live professional shows - a vital part of their musical education! I whole-heartedly agree.
