Maddy and Sarah Jo reunite on tour, this time for the Living Room Live House Concert Series set for June 10-26 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Details will be posted for concerts in the communities of Arborg, Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas, Moose Jaw, Estevan, Souris, Killarney, Winnipeg and others.

Sarah Jo Kirsch has been hailed as “one of the finest contemporary dramatic vocalists in Canada today” (Calgary Herald), “…with the ability to get under the skin of everything she sings.” (Winnipeg Free Press) From Baroque oratorio to electroacoustic sound art, Sarah’s evocative interpretations will stay with you. As winner of the 2014 Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition, Sarah toured across Canada with Madeline as collaborative pianist. Since then this well-paired team has performed often, much to the delight of their loyal fans.
