Dear Friends and supporters of Pro Coro Canada

Tomorrow is a very special day for all of us at Pro Coro Canada, as we will perform Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles live on ProCoro TV. This season has been quite the journey for everyone, and this piece parallels some of our struggles through the ever-changing landscape of distance and restrictions. We hope you are able to join us for an hour of your Sunday for this, our last performance of the 20-21 season, featuring 29 of our singers! You can find more information and a link to the event below.

As we move into summer, I want to take some time to introduce the Pro Coro Team to you. There is so much that goes on ‘behind the scenes’ to keep our organization running, and this is the perfect opportunity to share some information about everyone involved in our day-to-day operations with you. Stay tuned for our Meet the Team features in our upcoming newsletters!

with my best wishes,

Michael Zaugg, Managing and Artistic Director

A glimpse at one of our rehearsals for Path of Miracles

Path of Miracles

On Sunday, June 27th at 7:30pm MT, Pro Coro Canada is thrilled to present the last live-streamed concert of our 20.21 season on ProCoroTV: Joby Talbot’s epic masterwork “Path of Miracles.”

The movements of “Path of Miracles” are titled with the names of three staging posts on the network of pilgrims’ ways along the Camino Frances (the French Way) and the final destination, Santiago, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle Saint James the Great are buried. Throughout the work, quotations from various mediaeval texts are woven together with passages from the Roman liturgy and lines of poetry by Robert Dickinson, the work’s librettist. After a dramatic opening - the call to the Pilgrimage, and the subsequent gathering of lone travellers into a group at Roncesvalles - the beheading of St. James by the sword of King Herod is described in Greek, Latin, Spanish, Basque, French, English, and German.
