add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
The final concert of the VPC'S 20th season reflects humanity's long history of conflict, its resilience, and its capacity for hope.
Conductor Peter Butterfield and the choir are honoured to share the stage with the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, which is directed by Lt (N) Benjamin Van Slyke.
Marking the 81st anniversary of the D Day landings in Normandy, the musical offerings range from short pieces in the first half of the program to the main work: The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.
First presented in 2000 and dedicated to the victims of Kosovo, the work begins with a 15th century French folk song, L'Homme Armé (the Armed Man) and incorporates inspirations from many cultures and ancient and modern texts. Soloists are Jennifer Turner (soprano), Aidan Johnston (alto), Felix Butterfield (tenor) and Alex Chen (bass).
