Brilliant Vancouver harpist Joy Yeh joins Capilano University Festival Chorus and Capilano University Singers, conductor Lars Kaario.
Capilano University Festival Chorus sings the vast range of choral music from the medieval period to newly commissioned works. Recent concerts include Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, Handel’s Messiah and Dixit Dominus, Charpentier’s Te Deum, Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, and the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. A sampling of other major works performed in the past includes Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass, Bach’s Magnificat, Vivaldi’s Gloria and Magnificat, Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Romancero Gitano, Ramirez’ Misa Criolla and Requiems by Mozart, Brahms and Fauré.
For the Fall 2020 term rehearsals are planned to take place online and virtual videos of performances will be produced in lieu of live concerts. When conditions allow, we will resume in-person rehearsals and live concerts.
