The outdoor stage at Steinbach’s K.R. Barkman Park may still be surrounded by slush and snow, but organizers of the annual K.R. Barkman Concerts in the Park are planning this year’s free outdoor concert series.
Steinbach Arts Council announced they are inviting performers of all kinds to take the stage as part of the series that runs from May to June.
“Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to apply, including family and cultural groups, youth ensembles, choirs, bands, soloists, vocalists, instrumentalists and dancers,” they said in a news release. “Whether you’re an emerging artist or an established performer, the series offers a valuable opportunity to connect with audiences and share your work in a beautiful outdoor environment.”
Tara Schellenberg, performing arts coordinator said providing opportunities for artists to perform and connect with audiences is an important part of what they do.
“Each year, this concert series highlights the depth and diversity of talent in our community,” she said in the news release. “We love welcoming back familiar faces while also creating space for new artists and fresh creative voices.”
Performers are asked to submit a short bio, audio or video samples and a promotional photo at SteinbachArts.ca.
Applications will remain open until April 17 with the full line-up to be announced in early May.
The Steinbach Arts Council provides venue coordination, promotional support and access to basic sound equipment as needed.
The concert series is made possible by the Barkman Concrete Foundation.
