Brace yourself for a musical voyage through time as Sirens , PEI’s acclaimed choral ensemble, performs "Into the Spin" at Park Royal United Church on Saturday, May 11, at 2:30 pm. Please note there will be a second performance at Trinity-St. Stephen's United Church in Amherst, NS on Sunday, May 12 at 3:00 pm. Sirens invites its audience to be swept “into the spin” with a thought-provoking program. Fusing themes of time, life’s chapters, and mindfulness, the ensemble will deliver an experience that encourages listeners to consider their own relationship with the past, present and future.
At the heart of this program lies a repertoire designed to stir the soul and ignite the imagination. Among the pieces to be highlighted are Eric Whitacre’s soaring "Goodnight Moon," a piece inspired by the bedtime story book by Margaret Wise Brown. David Lang’s hauntingly minimalist "I Lie" is sung in Yiddish, and explores themes of truth and self-deception. Finally, Einojuhani Rautavaara’s ethereal "Suite de Lorca” is inspired by the poetry of Federico García Lorca, featuring Spanish folk influences and emotive melodies.
This is Sirens final performance of the 2023-24 concert season!
