• “Lacrymosa” from Requiem (Mozart) – a close runner-up and audience favorite
• "Bridge Over Troubled Water” (Paul Simon, arr. Shaw)
• “Sure on This Shining Night” (Morten Lauridsen)
• “Daemon Irrepit Callidus” (Gyorgy Orban)
• “Jabberwocky” (Sam Pottle)

Directing our 105-voice chorus, we are excited to welcome back two Directors-Emeritus: Xiaolun Chen and Paul McGahie alongside current Artistic Director Peter Steenblik. They are joined by pianist Isabelle Areola.

Steenblik will post a preview of the program on the Choral Society’s YouTube channel on Monday, September 29th.
