Chor Leoni's We Sang Our Songs meaningfully marks Remembrance Day, November 10 and 11
From Holst to Pärt, a moving program of music and readings featuring diverse perspectives on war and injustice
Chor Leoni launches its new season with its 31st annual Remembrance Day concerts, We Sang Our Songs, on stage at St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church on November 10 at 7:30 pm, and November 11 at 2pm and 5pm.
We Sang Our Songs offers a moving program of music and readings featuring diverse perspectives on war and injustice. Highlights include works by Gustav Holst, Arvo Pärt, and William Grant Still.
The 65 voices of Chor Leoni will also sing Mykola Lysenko’s “Molytva Za Ukrainu” (“Prayer for Ukraine”), and world premieres by composer Stacey Philipps and the choir’s Composer in Residence, Don Macdonald.
For more than three decades, Chor Leoni’s Remembrance Day concerts have created important moments of community contemplation and reflection. The powerful collective experience is one of the choir’s most cherished traditions—bringing the community together around ideas of peace, hope, and respect between people.
Tina Chang provides accompaniment on St. Andrew’s-Wesley’s new Steinway Model D piano, with Jane Kim on the newly restored Casavant organ and Katherine Evans on trumpet.
