Brothers from Different Mothers
7:30 pm
Shaunavon Public School
The Brothers were voted Seattle's funniest comedy team, are two time Guinness World Record holders and have performed their show in over 14 different countries. They have appeared on numerous television shows, including "America's Got Talent" where Sharon Osbourne called them "hilarious" and Piers Morgan described them as "hip, funy and well choreographed: the total package!". This contemporary comedy show is action packed with audience participation and perpetual laughter.
These half brothers started their performing careers as professional Hacky Sack players. As they toured the world competing with their unique skill, they began integrating comedy as a way to add depth to their performances. Once they realized they had a knack to make people laugh, the Brothers from Different Mothers Comedy show began.

Alessio Bax & Lucille Chung
7:30 pm
Alessio Bax, the First Prize Winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition and the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition and Lucille Chung, the First Prize Winner of the Stravinsky International Competition have performed around the world as recitalists and with over 130 leading orchestras. In 2003, just prior to their marriage, Lucille and Alessio performed their first concert as a piano due and since then the two-piano and one-piano-four-hand format has become an important addition to their solo careers. Their two award winning recordings and performances on the world's most prestigious platforms have established Alessio and Lucille as one of the most dynamic and brilliant young Canadian piano duos of their generation.

Annette Campagne
7:30 pm
She's the straight-shooting poet of a prairie girl who has seen the world but
who revels in her prairie roots, singing about heartbreak and the thrill of new beginnings; about fury and forgiveness. Annette Campagne (formerly of the group Hart Rouge) has been playing music long enough to know that a performance should be a "happening". She strives to make it just that with songs that create a "comfortable connectedness". Contemporary folk at its best!
