Discover the rich tapestry of Mennonite Concertos, a collaboration rooted in Canadian classical heritage. The repertoire blends traditional Mennonite hymns with contemporary orchestral writing, carried forward by celebrated pianist-composer Victor Davies and renowned violinist-singer Rosemary Siemens. Davies, named to the Order of Canada in 2014 for his contributions to Canadian music, created the influential Mennonite Piano Concerto (No. 1, 1975), a piece widely performed across Canada and the United States and recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1983. In 2012, a dedicated release titled Mennonite Concertos paired Davies’ concerto with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, highlighting Manitoba’s enduring connection to these works and featuring Siemens as soloist. Rosemary Siemens’ work with the Mennonite Concertos repertoire is complemented by her broader musical projects, including Bring Back the Hymns, and her growing presence on YouTube with Sundays Hymn Serenade.
