This Spotlight on North America concert is a wonderful opportunity to hear the Grammy-nominated 120-voice Toronto Mendelssohn Choir perform a range of great choral works – from lively folk songs to works by contemporary composers like Eric Whitacre, Stephanie Martin and Andrew Balfour, the prominent Winnipeg composer of Cree descent.
Doors open at 2:15 pm. First come, first seated.
For those who can’t attend the concert, it will be webcast live on Livestream.
