Concert

Pacem

A contemplative and radiant winter offering, Pacem explores peace, stillness, and the quiet strength of community. Anchored by Arvo Pärt’s luminous Magnificat and Tavener’s haunting Svyati with solo cello, the program also features a world premiere by Leslee Heys, and a vibrant mix of traditional and contemporary carols. The second half turns up the sparkle with an a cappella pop set and culminates in our traditional singing of Silent Night together with any and all alumni who are able to join us. Join us for a deeply moving musical journey, blending tradition with innovation, in our exploration of Pacem.

Humanity
Feb

Concert

Humanity

Presented in collaboration with Phoenix Choral Experience (PCX) program, Humanity is an expansive musical reflection on history, connection, resilience, and justice. The concert spans global narratives, from a Filipino showpiece (Galas) and Bushman elegy (Horizons), to work rooted in women's healing traditions (To Help the Crampe). Works by Reena Esmail, Saunder Choi, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Brittney Boykin weave themes of belonging and resistance, culminating in pieces that honour civil rights heroes and amplify young voices. With a majority of BIPOC representation and living composers, Humanity is both a reckoning and a celebration of our shared stories.
