Music camp continues concert performances
DUNSEITH – Session 4 at the International Music Camp culminates on Saturday, July 11, with a performance or display from each of the 12 camp programs offered during the week.
The art exhibit will open at 10 a.m. in Howard Hall. At the same time, the handbell concert will take place in the Alme International Arts Centre. The harp performance will take place outside the Alme International Arts Centre at 11:30 a.m., weather permitting. The guitar recital will be held at 11 a.m. in the Burdick Center for the Performing Arts, followed by the piano and organ recital at 12:30 p.m.
The choir and pop choir concert will start at 1:30 p.m. in the Masonic Auditorium. Carrie Taylor from New Westminster, British Columbia, will be conducting the mixed choir and chamber choir, and Dr. Elisabeth Cherland from Minnesota State University, Mankato, will be conducting the treble choir. The dance recital will round out the day at 2 p.m. in the Burdick Center for the Performing Arts.
The International Festival of the Arts series continues on Friday, July 10, with Burnstick at 8 p.m. in the Burdick Center. Burnstick is a Canadian folk music duo forged from passion and unfiltered emotion, in which two voices become one powerful musical force. Anchored by the resonant Weissenborn lap slide guitars of Plains-Cree guitarist Jason Burnstick and the rich, poetic songwriting and harmonies of francophone-Métis vocalist Nadia Burnstick, their sound is at once cinematic and intimate. Drawing from a decade of life lived fully — as partners in both art and life — their music carries stories of love, loss, belonging and the sacred ties that shape who we are.
Camp Session 5 culminates on Saturday, July 18. The dance recital will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Burdick Center. The jazz band and vocal jazz concert will begin at 1 p.m. at the Burdick Center, and the concert band will perform at 1:30 p.m. at the Masonic Auditorium. Dr. Daniel Lee, from North Dakota State University, will conduct the International Youth Band and International Wind Ensemble, and Verlene “Beanie” Stotts from Fargo will conduct the Mountie/Ranger Band.
The Festival of the Arts Performance on Friday, July 17, features the International Music Camp Jazz Faculty Big Band at 8 p.m. in the Masonic Auditorium. This 20-piece big band consists of some of the finest artist-teachers and clinicians in North America. The band will entertain with easy listening from the big band era through the modern jazz of today.
All events at the International Music Camp are subject to the International Peace Garden gate fee.
