The Steinbach Arts Council (SAC) is inviting the southeast to a choral concert that blends harmonies and generations.
Tara Schellenberg, performing arts coordinator at SAC, says the concert will feature the a cappella ensemble Proximus 5.
“Steinbach has such a strong choral tradition,” Schellenberg notes.
“I think our audience is really going to find a lot to love in this concert.”
The vocal ensemble performs a wide range of music, from classical works to contemporary pop arrangements.
Proximus 5 is a Winnipeg-based, five-voice male ensemble whose members have performed in professional choirs across Manitoba, including national choral events.
Alongside the professional singers, the Steinbach Regional Secondary School (SRSS) Chamber Choir will accompany them.
Directed by Kristel Peters, the Chamber Choir is a group of 31 auditioned Grade 11 and 12 students.
“To pair these seasoned singers with students from the SRSS who are at the beginning of their journey, it’s a neat thing to be able to see,” Schellenberg says.
As part of the visit, Proximus 5 will also lead a workshop with SRSS Chamber Choir students earlier in the day.
“We love to see that kind of collaboration and knowledge sharing.”
Concert details
The concert will take place at Grace Mennonite Church on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, at 7 p.m.
“We love to provide opportunities for local performers to get a chance to share the spotlight here in the southeast,” she adds.
Tickets are available for purchase through the SAC website or by calling 204-346-2077.
Tickets are $34 for adults and $17 for students.
