Muso rises to success in Canada
Hilarious Hayes boosts GHS auction fundraiser
FOR many years, generations of the Webb family farmed in the Queenstown district, but later Stuart and Colleen and their children Steven and Amy moved into town for a few years and then left to seek pastures new in Canada.
They settled in Winnipeg in the state of Manitoba and the early musical promise Steven had shown, came to fruition there.
He studied at the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba and now works as a performer, composer and audio engineer.
As a performer and accompanist, he has appeared with the University of Manitoba Singers, Prairie Voices, Canzona, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and has been a featured performer in the Winnipeg New Music festival, Winnipeg Studio Theatre and the Winnipeg Fringe Festival.
As a composer, Steven has written music for a wide variety of documentaries, films and commercials, as well as for contemporary dance and classical performance. He has also assisted in producing/mixing many Winnipeg bands.
He currently works as a full time composer and performer and works in audio production at a recording studio. - Rep reporter AN EVENING of fun, laughter and investment in the future of Girls’ High School took place at an auction hosted in the form of a Country and Western evening on Saturday evening.
