Jack O'Brien, 11, of Georgetown enjoyed the crafts at GlenStar Camp for the Performing Arts theatre workshop. Photo submitted Workshop for kids encouraged creative theatrical talents Spring was in the air for GlenStar Camp for the Performing Arts with a theatre workshop called Spring onto the Stage. All ages turned out for the event which included a variety of theatre activites, music and dance, and a visual arts component. Participants were encouraged to create a commercial jingle, test their improv talents, and even paint their own theatre mask. "It's refreshing to see such a creative group of kids doing something productive on a rainy Saturday afternoon," says GlenStar Director Amy Kelleher. This is the first spring workshop for GlenStar, a local camp for the Performing Arts which offers a summer program from July 2-13 and July 16-27. For more information about GlenStar's summer program, visit www.glenstarcamp.ca or call 905-877-0783 to register. Georgetown Bach Chorale performs Good Friday concert Georgetown Bach Chorale starts the spring season with its annual Good Friday, April 6 performance featuring a dramatic selection of music chosen to reflect the solemn day in the liturgical cycle. The concert, at Knox Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, will begin at 8 p.m. with an instrumental work featuring Avery MacLean on recorder in a dazzling rendition of Vivaldi's Concerto in a minor for Recorder, Strings and Harpsichord. The choir will then join forces with the orchestra to perform various choruses and arias from J. S. Bach's contemplative setting of the Passion According to St John. Following intermission the choir will perform selections from various cantatas interspersed with instrumental works by Bach for harpsichord and strings. The orchestra for this concert is a little out of the ordinary in that there will be two recorders, two Baroque oboes, two harpsichords, one Baroque organ, and five strings. It is not often that one gets to hear performances played on period instruments at Baroque pitch outside of the larger venues in Toronto. Come and join the Georgetown Bach Chorale, let yourself be transported to the more serious side of the universe and take in the rich sounds J. S. Bach and his contemporary, Vivaldi, have composed. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased in advance at Foodstuffs and The Freckled Lion or 905-877-8321.
