Details

This unforgettable night features two choral works - old and new - both pleas for humanity to unite in peace. Beethoven’s epochal Ninth Symphony receives its first Masters series performance of the 21st century. John Estacio’s The Houses Stand Not Far Apart, written in 2008 for the Richard Eaton Singers, is set to text by acclaimed Canadian poet and playwright John Murrell.

Stay after the show for Afterthoughts, our popular and casual post-concert reception, where you can meet the conductors and soloists, and gain insight into the performance.

Estacio: "The Houses Stand Not Far Apart"
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 "Choral"
