Made up of nine performers who represent a cross-section of the Winnipeg music and theatre community, Those Guys have built a reputation for dynamic, feel-good performances since 2009. Their repertoire, which ranges from The Nylons to Justin Timberlake (and everything in between), features complex (often original) musical arrangements performed without a single instrument. “To see ‘Those Guys’ live is to love them.” (Ace Burpee)

This multi-award-winning, 3-time Juno-nominated and Billboard charting band creates “energetic and exciting music from a band with talent to burn!” (Maverick, UK). For more than a decade, Sultans of String have thrilled audiences with their genre-hopping passport of Celtic reels, Flamenco, Django-jazz, Arabic, Cuban and South Asian rhythms. The group celebrates musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity, with world rhythms that excite audiences to their feet!
ASSASSINATING THOMSON, presented by Manitoba Theatre Centre
7:30 PM Tuesday February 28, 2023
SRSS Theatre
Assassinating Thomson is a one man play written and performed by Bruce Horak, a well-established theatre and visual artist who lost 90% of his vision after a childhood battle with cancer. In 2011 he wrote and began touring the show.
The play is named for an unsolved mystery in Canadian art history – the mysterious drowning in 1917 of Group of Seven precursor and iconic painter Tom Thomson in an Ontario Lake. The mystery takes you from the tiny community of Canoe Lake to our nation’s capital, and eventually to the world stage. Art, politics, greed, ambition, love, and murder are intertwined. Tom Thomson’s story is a tangled one, but we’re in the hands of a brilliant storyteller. Bruce captures the mystery in a stunning monologue about Canadian art and artists, and during the performance he also paints a group portrait of the audience before him.
CATHY DANIEL and DARRYL FRIESEN, Classical Voice and Piano
7:30 PM Friday March 17, 2023
Grace Mennonite Church
Originally from Edmonton, Catherine Daniel is a dynamic performer whose training and performances have taken her across North America and Europe. Catherine has a long history of exploring various genres while simultaneously staying rooted in her classical training as an operatic mezzo-soprano. She is equally comfortable singing jazz and gospel as she is singing Carmen. She is a storyteller and brings her soul to any performance within any genre. “Catherine Daniel [is] a force of nature…” (Natasha Gautier, Opera Canada).
Darryl Friesen has been praised for his “rich palette of tonal colour” and performances of “intimate, poignant simplicity” (Winnipeg Free Press). He has given acclaimed performances as a soloist and collaborative artist across Canada, the United States, Europe, China, and Brazil, and has been featured many times in concert on CBC Radio.
Together, Daniel and Dr. Friesen hope to welcome their audience, move them in the ways that only live music can do, and introduce to them a whole new vista of repertoire by Black composers to which they might form new and satisfying attachments.
