The feature piece will be performed by the 60 voice University Choir, directed by Liska Jetchick.  Composed by Katherina Gimon, Unsung: If the Earth Could Sing is a five-movement work for choir, cello, and percussion. Through the lens of various geological landscapes of Canada, it addresses the impact of the environmental crisis, as it seeks to address the question: "If the earth could sing, what would it tell us?"  Gimon’s work is both a celebration of nature’s beauty and a call to action.

Our song will go out!  Audience members and singers of all voice types and skill levels are welcome to join Menno Singers and orchestra for this annual favourite. Featuring soloists from local universities, this afternoon of singing through Handel’s best-known choruses is a sure way to anticipate the season through rousing song.
