I Sing Things!

Mar 21, 2012 16:40

And you can come hear me and about 140 other people! If you're in Toronto, that is, or willing to travel. Also, given the nature of this concert, if you won't burst into flames entering a Catholic basilica on a big Christian holiday.

What's That About Christian Holidays? The concert is called Sacred Music for a Sacred Space. It's on Good Friday, April 6, in St. Paul's Basilica. So basically, it's about getting your liturgical music groove on in a venue that really works for this sort of thing. If churchiness isn't your thing, then this probably isn't the concert for you. If, however, you really can't get enough of modern mass settings, then prepare to be delighted.

Church Music is a Wide Field. What, Exactly, Will You Be Singing? The big works are Vaughan Williams Mass in G minor, Martin's Mass for Double Choir (in a lot of different keys. The mass, that is. The choir sings in one key at a time.). We'll also be singing some Willan, Morales, and Nystedt. You can see the full programme here.

So When, Where, and How Much?

Friday, April 6, 7:30 p.m.
St. Paul's Basilica, 83 Power St., Toronto

General Admission $50
Senior $45
VoxTix (25 and under) $20

Wait, Who Are You Singing With, Again? I'm a second soprano in the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir and the Toronto Mendelssohn Singers.

So If I Even Wanted to Spend $50 on a Concert Ticket for Something Other Than, Oh, I Don't Know, Placido Domingo and a Huge Muckin' Orchestra Including a Cat Organ, How Would I Do That? You could follow this convenient link!

Dude, You Know I Like You and Support Your Artistic Endeavours, But That's a Lot of Money! Also, I Don't Live In or Near Toronto. Yeah, I totally hear you. It's okay!

If you really want to support me, but you don't want to come to this concert, maybe you can come to another concert! Or ask me to sing you a song sometime, and I will. If $10 or $15 is burning a hole in your pocket, you could make a donation in my name to the TMC Conductor's Challenge, which will stop me from feeling guilty at every choir rehearsal when they ask us if we've raised any money yet. If you don't want to donate, you can still ask me to sing you a song.

some sing out loud on a telephone wire, moprano, my exciting life, dance of the little datebooks
