Prelude to Autumn - Sept. 8th

Prelude to Autumn

Sunday September 8th - 3 pm

We look forward to violinist & concert master Terence Tam  performing with Steinway artist & critically acclaimed pianist Lorraine Min performing at Muse Winery.
Enjoy selections from the works of Chopin, Franck, Pablo de Sarasate, Debussy and Ysaye played by these two world class musicians.  A delight for the senses amidst the beautiful vineyard setting.

Min has impressed audiences worldwide for her artistic brilliance and virtuosity. Cited by the New York Times for her "impeccable phrase-shaping" and "crystalline sound," Min's pianism continues to inspire with its indelible musicality and finesse.  

Of Tam, the Halifax Chronical Herald wrote "...Every phrase had the deceptive ease and grace of a ballet dancer combined with the weight and momentum of a figure skater.....impressive mastery of the musical ideas......he breaks through interpretation to find and to bring back to the listener a musical landscape where everything is new, fresh...in the third [movement] Tam turned up the heat, blazing through the incandescent scales of the cadenza like a comet ..."

The vineyard will be alight with the sounds of music.  Please join us.

Add Flavour with Art

Gord Langston

Adding Flavour with Art on the
North Saanich Flavour Trail this weekend
Aug. 24 & 25th  11 to 5 pm

Muse Winery
11195 Chalet Road, North Saanich

The Flavour Trail encompasses the ideal of introducing everyone to the local flavours of the community, with locally grown produce, wine, baking and we think that local art should be a part of the bountiful mix that creates flavour for the home.  We've invited a number of local artists to bring their works of art to Muse for the weekend and you'll find them in the vineyards!

Heather Gunning

 As you wander through the Bacchus, Marechal....also look for the work of Gord Langston and Heather Gunning.  Gord & Heather both have their unique flares of taking that which other might discard and turning metal into beautiful pieces of art for the home, garden and to wear.

Pauline Olesen will be bringing some of her fused glass work and jewelry to the vineyard. If you've been to the winery before, you might have seen some of her work in our Wine & Gift Shop. Here's a video clip from a recent Monday Magazine interview at her Piers Island Studio.

In the Bacchus Room, look for work from the Peninsula Plein Air Painters on exhibition and you'll find a few of those artists in the vineyard...painting...plein air of course!   We welcome works from Keith Levang, Stephanie Quainton Steel- author and artist
John Moloney, Ian & Renate Waterlow and Paul Alex Bennett.

Keith Levang

John Moloney

Paul Alex Bennet

 We've shown just a few of the beautiful works by these Plein Air painters.  We hope you can join us to enjoy the marvelous palette of work showing off captured moments and places in our area.

Last, but by no means least...sculptor Paul Harder will be bringing his newest creations to the vineyard.  He mentioned cats and dogs were his newest works, but this photo makes us wonder what kind of cat will be coming to the vineyard!?

Paul Harder

 We look forward to seeing you out at the winery this weekend.  Keep up to date on all our events on the Calendar on the website.     www.musewinery.ca 
Bistro Muse will be open for the Flavour Trail weekend and we do suggest reservations.  Along with the regular bistro menu there will be a few extra choices and specials.  Please call us at 250-656-2552 to reserve or Email.
