We’ve all learned more about social distancing this year but artist Curtis Peeteetuce is taking it to the next level. Peeteetuce has partnered with Wanuskewin Heritage Park to do a performative quarantine within a quarantine. Over the next two weeks, Peeteetuce will be on a self-imposed lock down, living at Wanuskewin. While living at Wanuskewin, Peeteetuce will be writing, painting and performing all under the watchful eye of a camera which will live stream his every move. It’s a chance for the public to connect with an artist and for the artist to explore what isolation does to his process.

Candlelight Christmas

Saturday

Online

Christmas treats and soothing holiday music is what the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra’s gifting us this weekend. Saturday’s Candlelight Christmas is a the second seasonal show from the orchestra. The performance will be a more intimate affair than last weekend’s A Night At the North Pole. You’ll want to curl up by the fire and take in the more reflective songs of the season like Greensleeves and Silent Night. Like many traditions, the orchestra’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah with a full chorus isn’t possible this year. The music will live on however as a trio of guest vocalists Spencer McKnight, Casey Peden and Lisa Hornung bring a touch of this great work to the evening. Tickets are $15 for this live streamed performance.
