Prairie Blend Mother's Day Concert
Last Updated: May 2nd, 2009
Those who ask what difference does it make saving just one have not witnessed the joy of the one who is saved!

Prairie Blend is a men's choir of about 18 voices from all walks of life and all ages. Some are local professionals (teachers, professors, an engineer two ministers and a veterinarian) and two from the Music School. Prairie Blend has performed often in Brandon and the surrounding communities (including two performances in Winnipeg) and has a CD out. The choir is conducted by Deanna Ginn who has a cute little rescue living with her from Furry Friends. It has been a tradition for Prairie Blend to have a concert on Mother's Day in Brandon and this year is special.

Members of the choir were very impressed by Shahna Rice's work with Furry Friends and with her passing they wanted to put on a concert in her memory. The concert this Mother's Day is a tribute to Shahna and the admission is by donation to either Furry Friends or to the Cancer Society at the choice of the concert goer. The music will be a mixture of folk songs, traditional drinking songs, a madrigal etc., in general music from many generations (this is not barbershop singing). There is also a locally composed piece that is dedicated to Shahna and that is one of only two pieces that are more somber in tone. Shahna would enjoy the light hearted tone of the concert in her honour.
