Light in the Darkness: February Vigil

On Friday, February 9, at 7:30 p.m., Léa Moisan-Perrier (conductor), Jonas Apeland (Director of Music) and Stephanie Manias (Choir Manager) are very pleased to invite all members of the congregation to join the Candlelight Vigil: Light in the Darkness. This concert will be given in support of the Douglas Foundation for Mental Health Research and Care. Light in the Darkness is a hopeful concert where comfort and catharsis coexist. From the intensity and darkness of Francis Poulenc’s Quatre motet pour un temps de penitence we will move towards luminous works including Constellation by Canadian composer Marie-Claire Saindon and Rejoice in the Lamb by Benjamin Britten. The program’s turning point will be the world premiere of the work Planctus cygni, written for the occasion by Cui Wei and Kirsty Campbell, two volunteer choristers of the A&P Choir.
