Don't Miss the Bus for Song of the Open Road!

Song of the Open Road is a five day guided cultural singing tour of Saskatchewan.  It starts in south-west Saskatchewan and stops at museums, historic sites and art studios and galleries as it winds it way northward. On this tour you’ll experience the beauty of Renaissance master artworks, discover the mysteries of the St. Victor Petroglyphs, explore the Shurniak Art Gallery, visit the historic churches that comprise Sagebrush Studio and much, much more. More than 15 sites just like these are waiting for you to explore and experience!

This trip’s not all about visual exploration. As part of the tour, you will rehearse and perform a short concert program with award winning conductor, Dr. Victoria Meredith, Professor and Associate Dean with the Don Wright Faculty of Music Talbot College at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario.
