What a great way to spend an evening. The program featured works that were in turn complex and yet accessible. The highlight for me was the Laudate Dominum by Mozart featuring soloist Lorraine Reinhardt. Her control over that luscious sound simply transported me to another ethereal level.
As someone who sang in a choir in Montreal and elsewhere for years, I was captivated by the beautiful a cappella performance of the Vancouver Chamber Choir. Their professionalism, discipline and the sheer beauty of their singing are inspiring. Jon Washburn is a gem, in his conducting, his program selection and his compositions.
Jazz, Tango, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, Jodi Proznick, Linda Lee Thomas, Miles Black, Craig Scott, and Jon Washburn to entertain and conduct -- how can this talent bank not deliver a truly memorable evening! Bravo!
Lovely and charming and so glad we went to see this event
Best choral concert I've ever been to. Great work by the VCC and by Mr. Eric Whitacre.
What an amazing night! We were totally swept away by the sure beauty of these musicians and Mr. Whitacre's genius! Who would've thought Choral Music could be this fabulous!
In one word Eric Whitacre is a talent composer, fabulous conductor and wonderful communicator. If you have a chance to see him conduct go! Vancouver's Chamber Choir was flawless as was the beautiful Lafyette String Quintet and the very professional piano accompanist Steven Smith. If you love Choral Music music you would have been in heaven listening to the unique,complex and beautiful choral compositions of this talented young composer.
The Vancouver Chamber Choir was outstanding ! In fact the whole concert was outstanding. It ended much too soon !!!
The Eric Whitacre concert was fabulous. He introduced his compositions with candid witty stories that allowed his audience a glimpse of who he is as a person. The music was complex and unusual and yet sonorous in texture. The Chamber Choir executed it beautifully and when the other choirs joined in, the sound was spectacular. It was hard to believe that there were so many voices involved in those last 3 pieces. What a wonderfule xperience for those young singers.
Two words: Absolutely Brilliant! Really one of the best performances I have ever been fortunate attend.
The Vancouver Chamber Choir always sings to perfection and this event was no exception. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates choral music. They are true artists. Some clever and light moments were added for levity and fun.
Having the best of Toronto and the best of Vancouver perform together was a delight. They complemented each other nicely. The blending of voices was flawless.
A good variety in the programme. Enjoyed it very much
exceptional sound and talent--it is great that vancouver has this vocal group
The sun shone through the stained glass, the choral work shimmered and Thomas' verse came to life! An exquisite afternoon!
This is our third year attending and we are hoping to continue on through the years with this wonderful tradition...definitely one of the highlights of our holiday season!
A wonderful performance and an excellent beginning to the Christmas season.
the choir and the soloists were amazing....The Vacouver Chamber Choir brought tears to our eyes..
Orchestra and choir were impressive as were the soloists, especially the bass. Handel's Messiah is the most elegant music and most timely for the Christmas season. The words that Handel picked from the Bible are most welcome for this time of year to remind us of our hurts and joys, our loves and foibles.
Performance but Orpheum setting very drab unfestive???
