Songs of the Harvest Moon

Join the singers of Pro Coro Canada for an evening of autumnal explorations. We travel across musical periods and hear from Romantic masters like Brahms and Mendelssohn, to living composers, talking about all things Fall. A special treat is the music by Tormis. He has collected old tunes across the Baltics and arranged them into exquisite choral miniatures. And Dale Trumbores’ contemporary cycle about the years, of which we will perform the settings from September to November, is a welcome discovery.
Our partner Naheyawin joins us to shine a light on indigenous ways of celebrating Harvest. We’re excited to be working again with Jacquelyn Cardinal, who has already made a big impact on us, and our audiences, in our last season.
