Toronto Mendelssohn Choir's
Sacred Music for a Sacred Space
The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir remounts the wildly successful Sacred Music for a Sacred Space at St. Paul's Basilica. In this second annual performance, Noel Edison will conduct The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and the all-male Victoria Scholars in the magnificent, acoustically perfect Basilica on Friday, February 22, 2008, 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 24, 2008, 3:00 p.m.
The concerts will feature a NEW selection of grand masterworks to be performed completely a cappella including the unparalleled Vespers (All Night Vigil) by Sergei Rachmaninoff, An Apostrophe to the Heavenly Hosts by Canadian composer Healey Willan. The sparse and angular Missa Brevis by Canadian Ruth Watson Henderson will provide a pleasing contrast to the other works.
Tickets for the Sacred Music for a Sacred Space are $45 (General Admission) and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir Subscription Packages are still available, starting at $95.
Tickets and subscriptions are available by calling
416-598-0422 ext. 24. or www.tmchoir.org.
