Vox Musica Choral Society, joined by Ventus Women's Choir, will present "Spring Sing" at the Gem of the West Museum in Coaldale, AB. Featuring a variety of choral works, this matinee concert will offer shimmering harmonies and rousing tunes in the magical acoustic space of the museum's double vaulted ceiling.
Vox Musica will perform classical works by Mendelssohn and Mozart, short pieces by contemporary composers Jean Berger and Ola Gjeilo, as well as several movements from the Faure Requiem. Rounding out these sacred selections will be a set of folk songs with violinist Airdrie Ignas adding a Celtic flavour.
Ventus Women's Choir's diverse program will include "When Breezes Blow" by Canadian composer Sarah Quartel, as well as a piece by Cree composer Sherryl Sewepagaham. Also sung will be "Parting Glass" popularized by the Wailin' Jennys.
The concert finale will bring both choirs, piano, and violin together for "Crowded Table", a song recorded by American country music supergroup, The Highwomen.
For choral music lovers, this afternoon concert is not to be missed. Tickets are avilable in advance at Eventbrite, voxmusicalethbridge.org, CASA and the door at the event. Adults $25, Students $15, Children under 12 free with an adult.
