Prairie Singers was founded in 2003 by Ben Pauls. Their current director is Rick Heppner Mueller. Through their passion for choral music, they hope to inspire the lives of their members and audiences alike. Rehearsals are January to March, culminating with two concerts. They sing a wide variety of choral music, spanning many centuries and regions of the world creating diverse programs.
Konektis Choir is an adult choir founded and based in Brandon. Michelle Chyzyk (Virden) and Justina Burke (Carberry) are their collaborative pianists. Many of the singers hail from different communities. In 2026 Konektis was chosen to perform at the National Choral Conductors Conference in Victoria.
Proximus 5
Sunday, November 29th, 2026, 2:30pm
Altona Bergthaler Mennonite Church
117 2nd St. NW, Altona, MB
Proximus 5 brings five male voices together in performances that are equal parts precision and discovery. Some singers are originally from this region of the province. They draw from sacred and Baroque traditions, as well as folk arrangements and a commitment to new compositions, many written by their own Scott Reimer. Proximus recently released an EP featuring fan favourites such as Loch Lomond and I Wish. Proximus represented Manitoba at Podium in Montreal in 2024. They will be touring to Brandon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Iowa and U.S. Midwest.
Duo Cordelia
Saturday, February 20th, 2027, 3:00pm
Evangelical Mennonite Mission Church
600 Southview Drive, Winkler, MB
Formed in 2016, Duo Cordelia features violinist and composer Vanessa Marcoux and pianist Marie-Christine Poirier. The ensemble is very active on the Canadian classical music scene and is being regularly invited to perform across Canada. The two musicians widen the framework of their respective instruments by ushering them into new territory. This unique concert experience goes straight to the heart of our deep connection with music.
Canadian Brass

Morden Access Event Centre,
