NEWS RELEASE
THE CELLAR SINGERS
*************************
The Cellar Singers will mark the beginning of our 55th season with a concert for peace and remembrance.
We’ll recognize longtime choristers and perform pieces for Remembrance Day by Stephen Chatman, Alexander Tilley, and Albert Greer. We’ll also welcome soloists Jennifer Taverner and Michael York to perform Ralph Vaughan Williams’ masterpiece, Dona Nobis Pacem. Written in 1936, Vaughan Williams was recalling previous conflicts, amid growing fears of a new one.
“These pleas for peace and remembrance become more and more significant as we consider the losses of the last few years, as well as the news we see from sites of conflict around the world. It’s deeply meaningful to be able to perform these works together,” says choir president Faith Shergold.
Join us on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. at St. James' Anglican Church, Orillia for this moving concert. Tickets are $25 ($10 for those under 30) and available from members or online.
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.
