CONCERT DETAILS
Aella Choir is delighted to invite you to Roots, our final program of the 2023-24 season.
This is a concert about beginnings, endings, and the legacy of our loved ones. Through songs about birth, childhood, parents and parenthood, Aella will celebrate and honour those who cared for us and nurtured us as we grew.
As the centrepiece and beating heart of Roots, Aella is thrilled to debut a new work by Franco-Ontarian composer Marie-Claire Saindon. “La valse de Marie” was composed in loving memory and celebration of Marie Paquette-Rivard: maman to Aella member, Josée Rivard, and much-loved choir mom to us all.

TIME AND PLACE
This concert will take place on Sunday, May 5, 2024, at First Baptist Church (140 Laurier Ave W) at 4:00 p.m. (ET).
