Going Home Star -- a REALLY IMPORTANT work. Far North, Far South, Tubas, Euro Jazz, plus groovy toques! What could go wrong?
For today's Pan Galactic adventure, we feature "Going Home Star", and The Royal Winnipeg Ballet! This is a REALLY IMPORTANT work, wrapped around our sad history.
Plus plenty of tubas, World-Jazz, and toques too.
Join the fun. And please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from ya.
