Newly released video captures a bizarre incident in Toronto last week where a man entered a choir performance and began blowing a whistle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A stained glass window glows behind the black-clad figures of a choir as they sing, flanked on either side by the massive pipes of a church organ at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto. It’s a familiar sight to many lovers of choral music. The Toronto choir Acquired Taste<\/a> performs a composition by Saskatchewan-born pianist and composer Renee Rosnes on a Youtube video<\/a> posted on June 7.\u00a0 At about 4 seconds into the video, the top of a head appears at the back of the choir, and then the choir’s performance is interrupted by the shrill blast of a whistle.<\/p>\n

While the pea whistle may find a part in a very few pieces of classical repertoire, Rosnes\u2019 Still is clearly not one of them. However, you’d never know that by watching as the choir members simply continued to sing, apparently unruffled by the intrusion. A few seconds later, a second figure slips behind the choir, ostensibly to herd out the intruder, but the whistleblower is determined to remain free. A figure in t-shirt and shorts makes its way through the choir from the back row to the front, emerging near the conductor and then walking away down the aisle of the church.<\/p>\n
