SUMMARY:Benedict Sheehan's 'Ukrainian War Requiem' — The National Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Axios Men’s Ensemble from Edmonton\, who have recently secured a historic Juno award\, winning for Classical Album of the Year (Large Ensemble) for the recording of their Ukrainian War Requiem\, has announced a national tour of nine Canadian cities this November. \nComposed by two-time Grammy-Nominated Benedict Sheehan\, this monumental choral work spans 12 impactful movements that seamlessly blend modern musical styles with ancient chants and traditional Ukrainian motifs. The choral tribute serves as a powerful musical reverence for those affected by the war\, offering solace and strength to the living and the grieving\, and ultimately providing a solemn space for remembrance and prayer through a skillful and heartfelt tribute to Ukraine and her people. \nConducted by Maestro Michael Zaugg\, the choir will feature over 50 performers from Axios Men’s Ensemble and Pro Coro Canada\, including acclaimed international soloists from North America\, Europe\, and Ukraine.\nMore than music\, the Ukrainian War Requiem is a sombre journey through grief and loss\, acting as a fervent reminder of the enduring grace of the human spirit. Secure your seats to join us for an evening of sacred reflection and hope. \nDoors at 3:30 p.m. \nTickets available at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/friendsofaxiosmenschoirsociety/2202034

SUMMARY:Democracy Live
DESCRIPTION:Stories Shaping Change\nIn a country of many stories\, how do we build the civic muscle to stay united? \nDemocracy is a verb\, not a noun. Its health relies on civic fitness: our ability to navigate conflict\, listen deeply\, and act together. Like physical fitness\, it isn’t built in a single election\, but through repeated practice. \nCanada is shaped by multiple stories and identities. Our democracy grows stronger when we let these shared narratives unite rather than divide us. \nHosted by The Walrus and DXC+ by DemocracyXChange\, Democracy Live is an inaugural\, one-day gathering to celebrate civic participation and build civic fitness. The summit brings together residents\, artists\, organizers\, and community leaders to address one central question: \nIn a country of many stories\, how do we strengthen democratic participation and unity through action in Manitoba and across Canada? \nGrounded in local realities\, the summit connects Winnipeg and Manitoba to the national democratic conversation. Through inspiring speakers and participatory workshops\, we will tackle timely topics such as economic sovereignty\, diversity\, housing security\, and more\, with a focus on how we can work together to drive democratic action. \nJoin us in Winnipeg or online this November to share your story\, build civic fitness\, and help shape the future of our democracy.
