Manitoba Chamber Orchestra presents Modern Spanish Spirits with Asier Polo

May 16, 2017. From Carnegie Hall to the MCO, Asier Polo bowls audiences over. In Spain, he is considered the leading national cellist; in Winnipeg he is, alongside Colin Carr, a bonafide cello celebrity. The concert also features a performance of local composer Andrew Balfour's orchestral work Kiwetin-acahkos — North Star, A Canada 150 Signature Project that celebrates our northern country—its people, diversity, and the landscape that so defines our environment. Its title comes from a Cree word that means 'North Star,' and evokes many other meanings.. Event Details. Location: 745 Westminster Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, Winnipeg
