On Tuesday, November 4 at 7:30 pm the 17³Ô¹Ï Music Department presents soprano Sarah Jo Kirsch, winner the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition. The competition is the most important annually held contemporary music competition for exceptional emerging Canadian performing artists in piano, voice and strings. Since 1976, the Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition discovers, develops and promotes exceptional young Canadian performing musicians who show artistic proficiency, knowledge and keen interest in Canadian and international repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. Young artists, alternating annually in voice, strings, and piano categories, perform for two panels of nationally and internationally distinguished juries in three levels of competition. Sarah Jo Kirsch is a soprano/vocalist currently based in Winnipeg, Canada. She continues to make waves as a soloist with local ensembles – large and small – and maintains a continuing presence at the WSO New Music Festival, Cluster New Music + Integrated Arts Festival, and Groundswell, Winnipeg’s new music concert series. Sarah Jo will be accompanied by pianist Madeline Hildebrand. Madeline is presently on the piano faculty at Canadian Mennonite University. Upcoming engagements include a faculty position with the Rosamunde Chamber Music Festival, Randolph Peters’ The Adventures of Piano Woman with the Thunder Bay Symphony and a return to the WSO Soundbytes Series next season. Tickets are $15 / $10 for students and seniors and are available at the door, online at or in advance by calling 566-0507. The recital takes place in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall, 17³Ô¹Ï.
