FOR THE LOVE OF EARTH

Saturday March 2, 2024 | 7:00pm

Rozsa Centre, University of Calgary

206 University Court NW, Calgary

Mother Earth is our beautiful and bountiful home planet. We are learning that when we take more than we give, we harm the Earth, others and ourselves. There is still time to change our ways and right the wrongs we have wrought, by replacing carelessness and greed with love and gratitude. We welcome the Calgary Boys’ Choir (a group Paul Grindlay directed for 13 seasons) for this multimedia presentation.

FAURÉ REQUIEM

Saturday May 11, 2024 | 8:00pm

Knox United Church

506-4th Street SW, Calgary

 

Although French organist, Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924), destroyed many of his manuscripts after his first performances, he is recognized today as one of the preeminent composers of his generation. Begun in 1887 and completed in 1901, his Requiem is remarkably expressive, elegant and colourful. We will perform the work in Fauré’s original chamber instrumentation for chorus, baritone and soprano soloists, with organ, violin and harp.
