*************************
The Cellar Singers are performing cantatas old and new, at the final concert of their 55th season.

The Cellar Singers have commissioned a new work, a cantata based on a Korean legend, by composer Benjamin Keast. This eclectic and moving new work uses the same chamber orchestra and soprano soloist, Amy Dodington, as Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantata 150, also on the program.

“It’s a privilege to have been able to commission this work by such a talented composer, and to be the first people to make this music together. We’re excited to share it with the audience,” choir president Faith Shergold said

Join us on Saturday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. at St. James Anglican Church, Orillia for this beautiful and exciting concert. Tickets are $25 ($10 for those under 30) and available from members or at thecellarsingers.com.

The Cellar Singers are an adult choral organization under professional leadership, dedicated to providing and promoting artistic excellence in Simcoe, Muskoka, and beyond, through education, outreach and high-quality performance of the choral art.
