Cantata Singers Concert - Oct 16


Hi all,

Here’s some info about the first Cantata Singers concert of the season. This is an all Russian music concert which we’re doing together with Montreal's St. Lawrence Choir in both Ottawa and Montreal. The Ottawa concert is October 16 at 4 pm in St. Joseph's church 174 Wilbrod Street. There's a link in the information to a video of one number from the Rachmaninoff "Vespers" that the choirs recorded this past summer. It will give you a taste of what you’ll be hearing on the 16th.

If you’d to order tickets from me, just get in touch (PLUS it’s $5 off if you get tickets in advance). And, there’s also still time to order the 3 concert season ticket packages.
