It feels like Spring

Dear Friends and supporters of Pro Coro Canada

With the slowly changing seasons and the lengthening of the days here in Edmonton, we find ourselves once again joyously surrounded by the sounds and songs of nature. As we once again watch as the trees slowly stretch their branches towards the sun, and eager flowers begin to lift themselves from the Earth, we too feel ourselves being lifted and rejuvenated.

Still, we must experience this feeling of Spring on our own, in our bubbles and distanced from friends and family. It was a privilege to connect with singers during our Good Friday performance; a brief moment of hope. And it has been deeply gratifying to bring our gift to you, our voices. I welcome you to revisit our Good Friday performance, and to connect with the ebb and flow of the musical experience.

Below, you will find another deeply moving performance by Pro Coro Canada, that of Paul Mealor’s To Seek Where Shadows Are. One of our mandates is to foster the creation of new choral works, and this piece was commissioned 5 years ago in collaboration with the John Armitage Memorial Foundation. We hope you enjoy the performance, recorded live in 2016, and that you are transported back to the enriching experience of listening to our voices resonating in All Saints Cathedral here in Edmonton.

We would also like to take this opportunity to wish a very Happy Birthday to Madge McCready, Honorary Life-time member of Pro Coro Canada, loyal concert-goer, and supporter of founder Michel Marc Gervais from the first hour. Madge has organized Pro Coro’s Casino fundraisers with great passion and diligence over the last decades, and we want to extend our best wishes and gratitude to Madge on her birthday!

With my best wishes

Michael Zaugg, Managing and Artistic Director
