Details

Pro Coro is proud to present the World Premiere of Toronto composer David Mott’s “Heart Meditations,” with the composer performing as guest artist on baritone saxophone. In this work, we are invited to create a space where time stands still, where the body becomes weightless. The text forms a soundworld that evolves through small gestures, sometimes unnoticeably, sometimes with larger leaps. Take this opportunity and experience the feeling of being in another universe — endlessness, infinity.
 
Guest conductor Erik Westberg is internationally recognized and much sought after. He has won many awards, including Choral Conductor of the Year by the Federation of Swedish Choral Associations. Erik was the founder of the project “Choral Singing for Peace and Justice;” during the millennium celebrations, 8,000 choristers in 56 countries were involved in the project, which was seen and heard by the world's greatest television audience for choirs ever.
 
Pro Coro Canada has concluded a contract with CBC / Radio Canada to have the Feb. 12 performance at McDougall United Church recorded for broadcast on its radio and online networks.
 
This performance takes place at McDougall United Church.
