SUMMARY:Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra -- Across Time and Cultures
DESCRIPTION:We all know the mandolin – you can hear it at almost any folk festival in the world. It was born in Italy at the end of the 17th century and became a symbol of romantic serenades. In the 20th century\, it crossed the ocean to become part of American musical culture where it found new energy\, and it continues to explore new sounds and styles. But have you ever heard a mandolin orchestra? It is truly something special. Mandolins\, mandolas\, and mandocellos combine with woodwinds and accordions to create a bright and unusual sound mosaic. \nOn May 9\, 2026\, the Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra\, under the direction of Viacheslav Prysiazhniuk\,  invites you “Across Time and Cultures”\, a concert journey. From Mediterranean harbours to Scandinavian fjords. From Asian folk melodies to contemporary Canadian folk and jazz rhythms. Right here\, in the heart of Canada\, music from different eras and continents will meet in one shared orchestral sound.

SUMMARY:Mozart & Shostakovich
DESCRIPTION:The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra ends the 2025/26 season with the last major instrumental work composed by the gone-too-soon Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Written at the height of his compositional prowess (which is really saying something)\, the Clarinet Concerto in A Major is a work that is idiomatic and idiosyncratic. Guest artist Boris Allakhverdyan\, Principal Clarinet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, draws out the warm character of the clarinet while also exploring some of the work’s darker elements. \nTrapped in a totalitarian regime\, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 takes listeners from bleakness to bliss. Composed during the Stalin purges\, is the Shostakovich triumph appeasement or sincerity? Regardless\, the enormity of the symphony is among the most unforgettable experiences in classical music. \nThe final concerts of the season begin with Mahler’s Blumine\, a heartfelt\, sentimental\, and beautiful composition.

SUMMARY:2026 Never Alone Cancer Foundation Dragon Boat Festivals
DESCRIPTION:Never Alone Cancer Foundation is proud to partner with the Manitoba Paddling Association to host one of the summer’s biggest events: The Dragon Boat Festivals!  This year’s festival will be held at The Manitoba Canoe and Kayak Centre\, 80 Churchill Drive.  Dragon boating is one of Winnipeg’s most popular summer events\, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it! \nThis event is a FUNdraiser for the Never Alone Cancer Foundation\, a Winnipeg-based not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by cancer in our community.  Many people do not realize the financial hardships that accompany a cancer diagnosis.  Without benefits\, a cancer diagnosis leaves many unable to work or even care for their children because they are too ill.  No one should ever have to choose between groceries and the cost of gas and parking to get to their treatments.

SUMMARY:Red River Paddle Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a once-in-a-century celebration on the water—because this year’s Red River Paddle Challenge is an event you absolutely won’t want to miss. This year we are marking a monumental milestone: the 100-year anniversary of the legendary Les Voyageurs Canoe Race. \nIn 1926 Winnipeg Canoe Club Commodore Fred G. Thompson started a 100 km canoe challenge from Winnipeg to Lockport via the Winnipeg Canoe Club\, in honour of his brother\, Lieutenant Edward “Pace” Thompson. This iconic race helped define a century of grit\, endurance\, and deep connection to Manitoba’s waterways\, one we are proud to continue today! \nThis year’s Red River Paddle Challenge will weave the heritage of Canada’s longest-running canoe race into a vibrant\, modern celebration—uniting past and present through special centennial programming. \nSpecial events will include a historical party at The Forks Historic Port including re-enactments\, historical displays and celebrations. We will also release special edition swag and the opportunity to participate in the 110 km Les Voyageurs Challenge! \nBy hosting this historic year\, the Red River Paddle Challenge isn’t just paying tribute to a rugged paddling tradition—it’s reigniting a purpose that has inspired generations: to explore\, respect\, and celebrate the rivers that have shaped our shared heritage. This is more than a race. It’s a living story. And this year\, you’ll want to be part of it! \nFor 2026 we will be offering two race distances for paddlers to choose from! Both distances are open to all paddle craft. Prizes are awarded for both races. \nRed River Paddle Challenge\nThe Red River Paddle Challenge (RRPC) is a 44 kilometre (~27 miles) long distance single day paddling race on the Red River beginning in Winnipeg\, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport\, Manitoba. \nLes Voyageurs Challenge\nLes Voyageurs Challenge is a 110 kilometer (~68 miles) ultra distance paddling race on the Red River beginning in Ste Agathe\, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport\, Manitoba. Les Voyageurs is a two-day staged race where participants paddle from Ste Agathe to The Forks Historic Port in Winnipeg on day one and then on day two participants join in with the Red River Paddle Challenge paddlers and paddle to Lockport.
