ArtSpring Newsletter January 18, 2021

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful and restful holiday.

You may have had your fill of Messiah but I’ve had two recommendations for this wonderful Canadian filmed Messiah project called Messiah/Complex. It is a co-production between Against the Grain Theatre and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and is being offered free on YouTube until the end of the month. As I listened and watched, each piece had new relevance because of how this piece was being presented. I hope that if you take the time to watch the video below you will find as it as incredibly moving and artful as I did.

So the fruit cake trials are over. They were smashing, if I do say so myself. I’m moving on to a new experience with the classic French Madeleines. An old High School friend sent me this recipe by David Lebovitz. It looks a bit daunting, but I’m always up for a challenge. I’ll let you know how it goes!

 

The BC Provincial Health Order of November 19 has been extended. Unfortunately this means that ArtSpring will be closed to the public until at least February 5, 2021. Our Makana Youth Choir is able to continue under the current order.

The results of the raffle are in, our congratulations to:
Grand Prize winner Debbi Toole, and Second Prize winner Robert Lysay.

With thanks,
Cicela Månsson
Executive & Artistic Director, ArtSpring
