Huronia Museum offering Huronia Museum's centrepiece 1989 exhibi- tion, Treasures of the Mission, will comple- ment the larger celebra- tion by Sainte-Marie among the Hurons of its 350th anniversary. Treasures of the Mis- sion opens May 17. Curator Jamie Hunter described a display of unique and interesting ar- tifacts drawn from the National Museum of Canada, the Royal On- tario Museum, the University of Toronto, Sainte-Marie, Huronia Museum's own collection Serenata Choir singing popular songs Phil LaPenna promises people they won't leave Serenata's Easter concert asking, "What was that song?" LaPenna is the conduc- tor of the Midland-based choir. The Easter concert program, he says, is filled with familiar music, "universally loved favorites." "It's not a lot of the obscure repertoire that you so often get at con- certs," he says, where the audience "just sits there bored to tears." LaPenna knows a bit about boredom. He used to play the organ at Toronto Maple Leaf games in-Maple Leaf Gardens. "Some of the games were kind of dull," said LaPenna. He played at funerals during that period too. After a Leafs game, "I used to look for- ward to my next funeral." The 35-member choir practices weekly in Knox Presbyterian Church in Midland. The Christmas Concert is the other big public performance of the year, Serenata means to please. 'We are not there to amuse ourselves," LaPenna said. The audience on April 8 in Knox Presbyterian Concert preparation and several collections. The exhibition's focus is the material culture of the French Jesuits and the Hurons between 1634 and 1651. Sainte-Marie was the headquarters of the Jesuit missions taking in a huge area which today is south and central Ontario. The Jesuits were seek- ing converts among the Huron, Petun and Algonkian tribes. The Sainte-Marie mis- sion will be represented by 75 per cent of the artifacts. private Church will hear excerpts from the Easter section of Handel's Messiah; tradi- tional hymns; and folk songs, mostly from Bri- tain and two from: the United States. Ensemble and solo per- formances are planned. Two soloists will be Claudia - Slama (piano) and Norman Garcia (trumpet). Although Serenata is a typical community choir, the group has done well since its founding two years ago, LaPenna said. Usually 10 years pass before a community choir evolves into a fine, tight- ly knit ensemble the graduate of Eastman School, Rochester, N.Y., said. LaPenna pointed out Carol Brown,- Christine Brodeur and John Coull as some of the talented members of Serenata. As for the hockey world's cellar-dwelling Maple Leafs, LaPenna's opinion gained from four seasons behind the Garden's organ is shared by other observers of the fallen Leafs: they will continue to be boring | "until certain people | disappear from the scene. I won't mention any | names." Phil LaPenna joined the Midland community choir Serenata as its director in its second year. The choir rehearses every Tuesday evening in Knox Presbyterian Church. opens April 1 for 1989.
