2:00 pm & 7:30 pm
Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (CCFM)

Drummer World's 2019 winner of “Best Drummer-World Music” is the WJO's very special guest for a rare opportunity to hear Samba and Bossa Nova played at its finest. One of the most in-demand drummers in Brazil, Freitas has toured the world with João Bosco, and has performed with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Michel Legrand, John Patitucci, and most of Brazil's top tier musicians over the course of his long and distinguished career. Winnipeg guitarist and singer Marco Castillo joins us for a concert that promises to be Lindo Maravilhoso!

Respect - The Music of Aretha Franklin
with Ego Spank and vocalists Jennifer Hanson, Heitha Forsyth and Andrina Turenne
​
Sunday, March 15, 2020
7:30 pm - only
Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR)

The undisputed Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin is synonymous with songs like Chain of Fools, Natural Woman, Freeway of Love, and RESPECT. Her lyrics were a harbinger of modern-day feminism: strong, independent, demanding of equality & freedom.
