Cantata Singers, May 11

Hi there!

Want to let you know about the upcoming Cantata Singers’ concert. It takes place on May 11 at 3:00 pm in St. Joseph’s Church, 174  Wilbrod Street.

For the final concert of our 50th anniversary season, the Cantata Singers will be joined by Pro Coro Canada, one of Canada's premier professional choirs, to perform a selection of works linked by the theme "pathways".

This will be Michael Zaugg's farewell performance with the Cantata Singers after nine memorable seasons. He’s now Artistic Director of Pro Coro. So the joint concert will our sendoff.

The centrepiece of the concert will be a work by British composer Joby Talbot entitled “Santiago”. It’s the final movement of a longer work, “Path of Miracles” about the the pilgrimmage to Santiago di Compostela.  And it’s a fitting way to mark the new paths both Michael Zaugg and Cantata Singers will be taking. The programme also includes works by Mendelssohn, Mantijarvi, Whitacre, Rachmaninoff and Praulins.

It’s a lovely way to spend a spring Sunday afternoon! (and if you’re celebrating Mother’s Day, it would be a great gift too.)

Tickets at the door are:

            $30 for adults

            $25 for seniors

            $10 for students

NOTE: Adult and Seniors tickets are $5 off if you buy them in advance. Just let me know if you’d like to come and I’ll arrange to get tickets to you.

Hope to see lots of you there.

P.S. Please pass this on to others you think would enjoy the concert.
