A choral concert focusing on the theme of “home” – arrival, security and comfort. This topic is much in the air these days with concerns about the homeless population and the housing crisis. Music does not build houses, but it can highlight issues, and, we hope, encourage positive engagement with efforts at solutions. Home is a complex theme, and we explore various aspects of it.
Featuring special guests pianist Catherine Robertson and cellist Miriam Stewart-Kroeker.
