04/03/2015 Sacred Music for a Sacred Space Downtown

City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1DWWeh7 Artistic Director Noel Edison has matched the beautiful space of St. Paul's Basilica and the music to create a meditative journey. The concert will begin with the sound of music by the great English composer John Tavener washing over the audience from the balcony above. Choristers will then separate into eight choirs and surround the audience with the polyphonic richness of Tallis' Spem in alium. The concert concludes with Choir and organ performing Gabriel Fauré's luminous Requiem from the chancel.
