Celebrate with us the opening of our 30th Anniversary Season, as singers of every age are joined by instrumentalists and dancers coming together to commemorate our noteworthy past and future.
Let's Celebrate fanfare for double choir and orchestra
PREMIERE by noted local composer Barrie Cabena
The Long Journey for adult and youth choirs with orchestra
from celebrated Ontario composer Jeff Smallman
Voices of Earth for adult and youth choirs, two pianos and percussion
by Canada's beloved composer, Ruth Watson Henderson
This award-winning work juxtaposes text from St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun with the words of Canada's finest 19th century poet, Archibald Lampman.
Mass of the Children for adult and youth choirs with orchestra
by the ever popular British composer John Rutter
After the sudden, tragic death of his son Christopher, John Rutter barely wrote a note for two years until the creation of this work in 2003 for a Carnegie Hall premiere. The traditional Latin Mass text is interwoven with English poems by Thomas Ken and William Blake.
