Ensemble Made In Canada is Canada’s premier piano quartet, performing and recording to critical acclaim across Canada and internationally. EMIC is returning to Winnipeg in February to perform a Virtuosi season concert, with a program based on the music of their 2021 JUNO-award-winning album, Mosaïque. Composed by fourteen Canadian composers, each representing a particular region of Canada, the Mosaïque Suite takes us on a musical journey across the country. Join EMIC’s violinist Elissa Lee for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the stories, events and experiences involved in the creation of a fascinating and important Canadian musical odyssey: the Mosaïque Project!

Virtuosi presents Virtuosa! Playing music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries on historical instruments, Infusion Baroque enthrals audiences across North America with their brilliant programming, creating a truly captivating concert experience with “polish, energy, and finely-honed style” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). The Virtuosa program reawakens works by once-popular composers such as Barbara Strozzi, Ana Bon and Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre as well as works by well-known composers like Antonio Vivaldi written for women who were famous instrumentalists of their day.
Come discover these lost treasures! And to do a deep dive into the repertoire, join us for an online course called “Women of the Baroque” in collaboration with the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts on October 17th at 7 PM. Virtuosi subscribers attend free, and single ticket holders receive a special discounted rate!
Infusion Baroque’s concert and workshop are generously sponsored by the Zita and Mark Bernstein Family Foundation.
