Paraguay Primeval by Carol Ann Weaver is a musical work featuring stories of Mennonites who fled to Paraguay from Russian and Canada in the 1920s and beyond. This January 2013 Manitoba tour takes this music to some of the very people who were born in Paraguay but have moved back to Canada. It is the hope that their stories will be thus celebrated.
This Travel course takes place from June 6-23, 2013 and may be taken for credit as Music 355.
