  • Pro Coro: Once upon a Time...
  • The opening concert of the 2012–2013 season with our new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Michael Zaugg features choral music both old and new. Listen to the voice of the choir spin tales of a day at the King’s court, evoking fantasy and imagination. We will feature the Canadian premiere of Latvian composer Ugis Praulins’ 2011 oratorio The Nightingale, as well as the work that inspired our Artistic Director to become a conductor—Holten’s Rain and Rusk and Rosebush, along with guest artist Matthias Maute on recorder.
