The Leonids.
Chor Leoni is getting ready for the debut performance of its new professional ensemble. A Sound Like This: Chor Leoni & The Leonids takes place May 12 and 13 at 7:30 pm in the newly restored St. Andrew’s-Wesley United.
Made up of nine acclaimed male singers from across North America, The Leonids is aptly named after the spectacular once-a-year meteor shower.
The Leonids’ inaugural performance marks a new chapter in Chor Leoni’s history. The highly anticipated event also coincides with Chor Leoni’s VanMan Choral Summit, which gathers more than 300 singers of all ages for a week of collaboration and celebration, culminating in the VanMan Summit Concert (May 14 at the Chan Centre).
Selected by Erick Lichte, artistic director of Chor Leoni, the members of the Leonids have performed with some of the continent’s most acclaimed ensembles, including Chanticleer, Conspirare, Cantus, Anúna, Roomful of Teeth, Seraphic Fire, and New York Polyphony, among others.
A Sound Like This will feature solo sets from Chor Leoni and The Leonids as well as collaborative performances with both groups.
