Penumbra Art Exhibition - A Story of Hope
This exhibition is titled Penumbra and it focuses on Mental Health-a visual journey through pain and healing. It will feature a combination of creative makeup* artistry and photography* performed by Bianca Gascoigne. It is aimed at raising awareness about mental health, creating connections with the arts and mental health communities and providing a platform for open dialogue within our community. Fundraising and donations will be given to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The Thunder Bay CMHA branch will be partnering with me to advertise this exhibition.
There will be 15 models, each of whom either work in mental health fields, are local artists or are in support of raising mental health awareness (or all 3). Each model has been/is affected by their own mental health experiences, however this exhibition will not be telling the models individual stories in order to respect their privacy. The exhibition will be a display of creative expression.
This event will take place at Mariner’s Hall for the opening night (food and beverages provided at the beginning of the evening), and it will be on display for at least 1 week.

CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT - ELEGANT FRENCH BAROQUE
Delight in a concert of ravishing music for flutes, harpsichord, and cello from the age of Louis XIV and Louis XV, in the spirit of Versailles. Flautists Doris Dungan and Penelope Clarke, cellist Peter Cosbey, and guest harpsichordist Borys Medicky reunite. They’ll perform 18th-century solos, duos, and trios by Couperin, Blavet, Hotteterre, Boismortier, and others. The repertoire was chosen to celebrate our magnificent French two-manual harpsichord, whose noble sonority is perfect for it. Our instrument, acquired in 2018, will be heard in a solo role, as well as serving as accompaniment. Medicky, who concertizes extensively as harpsichord soloist and chamber musician, will draw out the best of it.

CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT - GLORIES OF THE HIGH BAROQUE
Enjoy a stirring concert of double concertos by Bach, Vivaldi, and 18th-century Czech and Italian contemporaries. Soloists Colleen Kennedy (oboe), William Sirois (violin), and Eric Li (bassoon) perform, backed by our fine local string ensemble and harpsichord. We’ll hear Bach’s Concerto in D minor for violin and oboe, RV 1060R, later arranged for two harpsichords, plus Vivaldi’s Concerto in G major for oboe and bassoon, RV 545. We introduce two Baroque works we just discovered: a double concerto for oboe and bassoon by Bohemian composer Reichenauer, and the lively Concerto in D major for violin, bassoon and strings by the Italian Cattaneo, influenced by Vivaldi. By Venetian Albinoni, we will hear some short sinfonias for strings.
CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT - PIANIST ANGELA PARK IN CONCERT
Master-pianist Angela Park performs an all-Beethoven concert for us, on the occasion of the bicentenary of the death of this immortal composer. Highly-acclaimed as an artist, Angela is praised for her “stunningly beautiful pianism”. She has selected a piano sonata from each of Beethoven’s three compositional periods, early, middle, and late, Opus 2, No. 3, Opus 90, and Opus 101 in A Major of 1816 with its fantasy-like expressiveness. Angela will open with a charming early set of variations. It’s the second concert of Consortium’s 2027 Beethoven Mini-Festival, joining the whole world in celebration during his special anniversary year. This occasion marks Angela’s fourth appearance in our concert series.

CONSORTIUM AURORA BOREALIS CONCERT - BACH AND BOISMORTIER
We’re excited to invite you to the opening concert of our 48th season. Two ever-popular Consortium soloists, cellist Peter Cosbey and flutist Doris Dungan, will take us back to our Baroque roots as they perform stunningly-gorgeous works for their instruments. Peter will entrance us with two of J. S. Bach’s monumental solo cello suites. Doris will his play his lovely partita for unaccompanied flute in A minor, as well as one of her favourite works, a solo flute sonata in the same key by his son C.P.E. Bach. They’ll be joined by bassoonist Aviner Hartwick in elegant duos by Boismortier and Corrette, prolific French Baroque composers who championed the flute but also expanded the repertoire of the bassoon, treating the instrument more virtuosically and expressively. Cello and bassoon sonorities blend well together.
