A Garden Party: Songs of Growth, Hope and Change
Advertisement
There is a unique kind of magic that happens when the community gathers to celebrate the changing seasons of life and nature. We cordially invite you to join us for an afternoon of evocative music that explores the roots of our heritage and the blossoms of our future.
An historic moment and the highlight of our program is a true milestone for our community. We invite you to witness the WORLD PREMIERE of "Rhodora" by the acclaimed and local composer Byron Hermann (cypresschoral.com/byron-hermann).
Be among the first to hear this breathtaking new work as it makes its debut in our garden of song.
From the storytelling of Dave Gunning and the rugged sounds of Stan Rogers, to the soaring, ethereal heights of Katerina Gimon and Morten Lauridsen, this program is a tapestry of human experience. We are also honoured to feature the soulful, indigenous-inspired works of Sherryl Sewepagaham, alongside the vibrant contemporary voices of Shruthi Rajasekar, Natalie Hemby, and the timeless beauty of Thomas Morley.
Celebrate Canadian artistry, indigenous roots, and global connection on a musical journey through growth, hope, and the inevitable beauty of change. This is a Garden party you won’t want to miss. Come for the music, stay for the community, and leave with a heart full of hope.
