This week on Choral Concert Peter Togni brings us the Canadian Chamber Choir in a concert from Halifax.
The Canadian Chamber Choir is a unique entity in the world of Canadian choral music, as it is the only permanent Canadian group of young professional-quality singers from across the country. Because of logistics and the huge distances between our cities, they can only get together a couple of times per year for short times to work on special projects.
This means that when they do get together, they are very focused on making something special, something you will hear in this concert. Recorded in the beautiful acoustics of St. Patrick’s Church in Halifax, the Canadian Chamber Choir sounds clear, resonant and polished.
Joining up with Nova Scotia’s own new adult choir Canta Mara, you’ll hear Julia Davids lead the group into special choral territory, with some exquisite selections from Canadian composers Jeff Enns and Rupert Lang.
Choral Concert, the Canadian Chamber Choir edition. Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012, 9:00 - 11:00 a.m., (9:30 - 11:30 NT) on CBC Radio 2.
