Music For May
In the midst of a cold and snowy winter, the women’s choir, Monday Morning Singers, under director Anne Mizen, is busy preparing a concert for spring.
The choir celebrated its 24th anniversary in 2024 and continues to bring people together to make music for Uxbridge audiences.
The choir will be joined by the acclaimed organist, Ian Sadler, playing the organ at St Paul’s Anglican Church. The performers are excited to present the work of one of the 20th century’s most significant and remarkable composers, Benjamin Britten.Missa Brevis in D is a setting of the Latin Mass, originally written in 1959 for the treble choir and organ at Westminster Cathedral in London, England.
The music is dramatic and intense, full of colour and life. The programme also includes a range of pieces from early music of William Byrd and Henry Purcell to more contemporary works by Randall Thompson and Canadian composer, Saul Irving Glick. Other music includes Canadian folk music by Connie Kaldor as well as the popular American composer, Morten Laurdisen.
Our performance takes place on Sunday, May 3rd, at 3:00 pm at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, in Uxbridge, Ontario.
Tickets are $30.00 cash at the door.
