Concert Schedule

---

Written in 1875 to accompany playwright Henrik Ibsen’s five-act play of the same name, singers and actors bring to life the story of Gynt, a lovable but imprudent scoundrel who fantasizes that he might someday be ruler of the world. If ever a piece of music was written that perfectly captures the story it accompanies, Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt is it!

Featuring the rarely heard 'A Boy was Born' Opus 3 by Benjamin Britten; The composer set different texts related to Christmas to music as theme and variations scored for an a capella choir. New compositions by Canadian composers will also be featured. This concert will also include the brilliant College de La Salle bell choir (Robert Filion Director).

Three inspirational Lenten Cantatas BWV 106, 161 and 182 composed by J S Bach will be offered, with orchestral accompaniment, and conducted by Maestro Ewashko

We invite you to sing with us in this concert of Operatic Favourites  including: the Habanera from Carmen, the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore, Va Pensiero from Nabucco and even the Humming Chorus from Madama Butterfly! Arias sung by tenor Philip Klaassen and mezzo-soprano Tessa Fackelmann will also be featured.
