Summer Tour 2012

We’re hitting the road this July and August, heading out to Winnipeg and back, for a whirlwind series of events:

  • co-leading a hymn festival with our good buddy, Lloyd MacLean, for the annual conference of the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 15-19
  • helping to plan and lead a regional Worship Matters event in Brandon, Manitoba, July 20-22. We’re focusing on worship music leadership, repertoire, and of course having a good time!
  • we’ll wind our way back across western Canada, offering drumming workshops and concerts enroute. If you’d like to host us let us know!
  • We’ll be at Naramata Centre leading a programme, “Going Global: Singing and Drumming With Spirit,” July 29-August 4.

And then we’ll make our way quickly home. Whew! Hope to see you along the way…
