Sunday December 1, 2019
Show starts at 2.00pm
It is said that no other musical work in history has done more to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, or foster the orphan than Handel’s Messiah. Handel was facing debtor’s prison after numerous failed performances when his friend and librettist Charles Jennings begged him to write one more time.
At age 56 and miserably discouraged, Handel took Jennings’ libretto and began to work. Hardly eating or sleeping, Handel completed in twenty-four days the single most monumental musical achievement in history. His death came only eight days after his final performance of Messiah, which he conducted April 6, 1759.
Enjoy the version performed by Choralis Camerata in two sets with an intermission.

Cadence
Friday March 4, 2016
Canada’s premiere vocal group has been wowing audiences across the country and around the world for nearly 15 years. Carl Berger (baritone and bass), Ross Lynde (tenor), Lucas Marchand (tenor) and Kurt Sampson (bass and vocal percussion) bring a hypnotic blend of complex melodies, vocal dexterity and just plain fun to every performance. It may be a classic song by Joni Mitchell or Louis Prima. It may be an old bebop standard or cheeky arrangement of a 1980’s hit. But it’s not like anything you’ve heard before – containing all the richness of a full band, but performed using only four voices…
What these boys can do with their voices needs to be heard to be believed!
