We are bringing back a wonderful monthly event, at our special location, for everyone who needs to relieve stress. Live music played by the incredibly talented Zac Perry will create the chill vibes for thoughtful yoga-inspired movement and guided relaxation provided by Angela of Angels-Landing Yoga & Wellness. Everyone is welcome. No experience is necessary. A yoga mat and a blanket will be required. 

Through the soothing tones of crystal bowls, chimes, and other sacred instruments, you’ll be guided into deep relaxation—creating space for renewal, clarity, and intention-setting. The new moon is a powerful time for fresh starts, and this session will help you realign with your highest path.

The feature piece will be performed by the 60 voice University Choir, directed by Liska Jetchick.  Composed by Katherina Gimon, Unsung: If the Earth Could Sing is a five-movement work for choir, cello, and percussion. Through the lens of various geological landscapes of Canada, it addresses the impact of the environmental crisis, as it seeks to address the question: "If the earth could sing, what would it tell us?"  Gimon’s work is both a celebration of nature’s beauty and a call to action.

Our song will go out!  Audience members and singers of all voice types and skill levels are welcome to join Menno Singers and orchestra for this annual favourite. Featuring soloists from local universities, this afternoon of singing through Handel’s best-known choruses is a sure way to anticipate the season through rousing song.

🎶 An Afternoon of Classical Masterpieces 🎶
The Stillwater Trio in Concert
Featuring:
Cathy Anderson – Cello
Bruce Skelton – Violin
Joanne Bender – Piano

A Fundraiser with proceeds going to support the KW Symphony.

Cathy Anderson, Bruce Skelton, and Joanne Bender have been musical friends for several decades. In 2014 they started to play together in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. In 2019 they chose the name Stillwater Trio, partly in response to a joking comment about Joanne serving just plain old water at rehearsals; but also because water, like music, is life-giving, and being by still water restores our souls.

All proceeds will support the KW Symphony — your attendance helps keep music alive in our community!
