Think of a person from St. Catharines who was:
- A world famous singer
- A member of the Polish aristocracy
- A war prisoner and refugee
- A humanitarian and author
- A patron of the arts
It can only be Laura Blackwell.
On June 24, Stan Skrzeszewski presented “Laura Blackwell, Our Countess of Turczynowicz: Opera Singer, Activist, Independent Woman” for the last meeting of the 2020-2021 season. This is a one of a kind story that should not be missed. Click below to begin the video.
