All The King's Men is a male-voice liturgical choir, associated with the College Chapel of St. John the Evangelist at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. Much of their music draws from a rich tradition of Latin and English choral music for men's voices within the context of the Anglican services of Evensong and Compline. Much of the repertoire is early period. All the Kings Men sings evensong on the first Sunday of the month, for more information about the repertoire for a particular service, please check their web page at: All the King's Men and click on next service.

StarBachs: The Coffee Cantata is the caffeinated version of J.S. Bachs mini-masterpiece, revamped for the modern world.
Sung in English and set in everyones favourite coffee house, its Bach like you’ve never seen it before! The professional cast and crew is made up of faculty from Manitoba’s top music schools.
The Story: Schlendrian (David Klassen) is an old-fashioned sort of guy, who detests living todays fast-paced world characterized by coffee-to-go. Meanwhile, his sister Lieschen (Naomi Forman) is hopelessly addicted to coffee and has a huge crush on her barista, Taylor the Latte Boy (Darren Martens). The show contains all the music of Bachs so-called "Kaffee Kantate" (Its original title was "Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht" B.W.V 211) plus additional songs glorifying our favourite morning drink.
General Running time: 50 minutes.
Tickets: $10 General admission. To order and to view the performance schedule, please call the Fringe at (204) 942-6537 or 1-877-446-4500 or go to the Fringe Website
