Shumka's Nutcracker has the beautiful Kappella Kyrie Slavic Chamber Choir joining them for their shows on December 12 and 13th in Camrose!

Kappella Kyrie Slavic Chamber Choir was founded in 2010 under the artistic leadership of Dr. Melanie Turgeon. Based in Edmonton, the choir is dedicated to preserving and sharing the centuries-old sacred music traditions of the Eastern Church while exploring a diverse range of choral repertoire. Guided by values of artistic excellence, collaboration, and community engagement, Kappella Kyrie has become a vibrant presence in Canada's choral landscape.

In May 2025, the choir celebrated its 15th anniversary with Blending of Sounds at Edmonton’s Winspear Centre—an ambitious concert featuring two world premieres, guest choirs, acclaimed soloists, and a 58-piece orchestra. The program included the world premieres of Господні терези (Divine Scales) by Ukrainian composer Myroslav Volynsky and The Ogre by Victoria Vita Poleva.

Kappella Kyrie has performed with ensembles including Chorale Saint-Jean, The King’s University Chamber Singers, the Richard Eaton Singers, Shumayela Youth Choir, and the Calgary Youth Orchestra. The choir has collaborated with distinguished soloists such as Canadian tenor Benjamin Butterfield, Ukrainian baritone Yurii Hryhorash, and Canadian bass-baritone Russell Braun, and has recently worked with conductor-composers Mark Bailey and two-time Grammy nominee Benedict Sheehan.

Guided by artistic ambition and civic purpose, Kappella Kyrie continues to nurture choral life in Edmonton and beyond. For more information, visit kappellakyrie.org.

The Intensity of RED, Reimagined. Experience By Moonlight!
Remember the intense, powerful, and dramatic emotion of Taylor Swift's Red album? We're taking that raw feeling and transforming it into an unparalleled, elegant live spectacle.

This is more than a concert; it's an immersive, dramatic experience where the emotion of the music meets celestial light:

✨ THE FOCAL POINT: Forget small stages! Our colossal 20-foot illuminated moon (it literally fills the entire stage!) is suspended above our performers, casting a dramatic, ethereal light.
✨ THE ARRANGEMENT: Her emotionally charged music is meticulously arranged and performed by a masterful string quartet, giving classics an elegant, vibrant new life.
✨ THE MAGIC: The moon itself is a screen! Cinematic projections will pulse across the 20-foot surface, weaving the visual intensity of the Red era into the live performance.

This is the perfect night for anyone seeking a profoundly moving, visually stunning escape.

By Moonlight: The Music of Taylor Swift
📅 Date: January 31st
⏰ Times: 3:00 PM & 7:30 PM

Meet Joshua Pacholok (Drosselmeier)

Joshua Pacholok began dancing at the age of five in the Shumka School of Dance. In 2016, after a two-year break from dance, Josh returned to the studio, both nervous and eager to continue his dance journey. As his passion for dance continued to grow, Josh entered Shumka School’s Intensive Division where he had the opportunity to explore other genres including ballet and contemporary dance.
Following graduation from Shumka School in 2019, Josh was accepted as a member of the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers. With Shumka, Josh has toured all across North America and has had the privilege to perform alongside artists from the National Ballet of Ukraine, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, and the Virsky Ukrainian National Folk Dance Ensemble.

Beyond performing with the company, Josh is also a member of the Shumka Artistic Committee, an instructor with the Shumka School of Dance, and a coordinator for Shumka’s summer camps and Dance Festival.

Josh is thrilled to be performing the role of Drosselmeyer for the very first time in this year’s Nutcracker. He is deeply grateful to the directors, choreographers, and the entire creative team whose vision and dedication have contributed to this production.

Meet Annikka Dobko (Sugar Plum Fairy)

Annikka Dobko is delighted to be dancing the role of Sugar Plum in Shumka’s Nutcracker this season!
Being given the opportunity to create this character alongside Shumka’s Artistic leadership for the newly updated production has been both an exciting and challenging journey. Annikka is eager to bring this role to life on stage throughout the four-city tour.

Annikka received her dance education from various institutions including the School of Alberta Ballet and Kirov Academy of Ballet of Washington DC. Following her training, Annikka joined Orlando Ballet for two seasons as a trainee where she was able to perform various roles such as Dulcinea in Don Quixote and Spanish in Robert Hill’s Nutcracker.

Joining Shumka in 2017, Annikka has been fortunate to perform nationally and internationally on tours and at special performances including UNA’s 125th Anniversary Gala (New Jersey, USA), Shumka on Tour cross-Canada tour and with the National Ballet of Ukraine during their USA tour in the fall of 2024.
Some of her favourite roles with Shumka thus far include Mavka in Shumka’s UKRAINKA, Arabian in Shumka’s Nutcracker and Jorden Morris’ Me Yeh amongst others.

Annikka is also a registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance, holding a BA Hons in Dance Education from the Royal Academy of Dance as well as a diploma in Arts & Cultural Management from Macewan University and a personal trainer certification from NAIT.

IT’S REAL! The Colossal Moon Is Here! (Just ask Nansee) 😂

Just to show you how HUGE the moon is (and that it is a REAL thing that's REALLY happening), our Marketing & Sponsorship Coordinator, Nansee, popped underneath it to try and take a photo! 📸

Yes, this is our colossal 20-FOOT MOON that will be the awe-inspiring focal point for all our "By Moonlight" shows in the Tracy Brandingen RE/MAX Real Estate Acclaim Series!

Think of this as CamroseLive's own take on candlelit concerts—but instead of soft flames, you get the dramatic, ethereal glow of a stage-filling celestial body!

We can't believe the size of this moon in real life—we were so mesmerized we couldn't leave the theatre! This is going to be an incredible experience!

Don't have your tickets yet?! What are you waiting for!
