Enjoy our exciting new season
Welcome to a new season of concerts featuring music for cello and piano with guest artist Philip Hansen as well as two full concerts of trios for violin, cello and piano, performed by Elixir artists in a dynamic trio collaboration. Elixir will be presenting three live concerts at our usual venue of beautiful Emmanuel Church, Saskatoon. We look forward to performing some heart-warming favourites as well as an exquisite work by early 20th Century French composer Germaine Tailleferre. Enjoy trios by Clara Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Ukrainian composer Vasyl Barvinsky and a new work by Yellowknife-based Carmen Braden. We hope you will be able to join us for this exciting season!
