The Randomness and Order of Nature is a synergy of two North Okanagan artists, Debbie Dell and Svetlana Shkuratova. Both artists have a similar interest in natures' colour palette and boundless textures which make this exhibition a well suited collaboration.  With Nature being their inspiration, they create an intriguing world of sculpture and photography. Glass Fusion allows Debbie Dell to expand her creativity with color and texture while Svetlana Shkuratova explores the visual and tactile expression of colors through her photography and ceramics.

Songs of Love and Springtime - Songs of Nature

Spring: the season of Nature’s awakening, and the season of love for all mortal beings!  AURA Chamber Choir celebrates this “amorous and fair season” with Songs of Nature, a potpourri of European choral music that spans five centuries. 

The title of our concert is taken from a set of partsongs by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak that celebrates the wondrous beauty and spirituality of the natural world.  AURA will perform three selections from this set, and four of his Six Moravian Lyrics, a lighthearted but touching glimpse of village romance.  Both sets will be performed in English. 

The program’s featured work is by Dvorak’s greatest fan and booster, Johannes Brahms: the Liebeslieder Waltzer (Lovesong Waltzes), op. 52.  In this set for mixed chorus and piano four hands, Brahms brilliantly pours the passion of the Gypsy musicians he heard in Viennese cafes into the vessel of the waltz and brews a drink that burns with the intoxication of love in all its forms: blissful and sweet, desolate and bitter, and so much more besides.  At the keyboard we have AURA’s award-winning pianist Marjorie Close and special guest Terry Logan, noted voice teacher and choir director in her own right.
