$45
Toronto’s Elmer Iseler Singers and Artistic Director & Conductor Lydia Adams launch their 44th concert series with a stunning choral music program inspired by the reflective journeys of composers and poets seeking the heart and soul of beauty.
The concert—without intermission—includes Three Motets to Our Lady by Healey Willan, Sun on Water by Hussein Janmohamed (Kenya/Canada), Melodia by Myroslav Skoryk (Ukraine), and Long Road by Eriks Ešenvalds (Latvia). The Elmer Iseler Singers then lend their ethereal voices to the music of Timothy Corlis in the world premiere of an exquisite new choral composition that incorporates sound-healing instruments from around the world. “Om Saha Nāvavatu is a profound, spiritual work that cannot be categorized. It is a unique, immersive piece that transcends genres and categories. It is a balm for the soul”, notes Lydia Adams.
