New CD Released by the Saskatoon Chamber Singers!

Saskatoon Chamber Singers: Remember

James Hawn, Director     Rod Epp, Accompanist

The Saskatoon Chamber Singers was founded in 1977, and for the last fifteen years has presented a concert of music and readings on Remembrance Day. The choir’s first CD Remember commemorates those who fought and died in war as well as those who have gone before us. The selections cover a wide spectrum in their approach to life and its inevitable ending: strong emotional works that can move us to tears, but at the same time raise our spirit. Most of the music showcases a vibrant contemporary choral repertoire, with over half by Canadian composers. The CD was recently featured on CBC Radio’s Choral Concert, which noted the Chamber Singers’ “wonderful blend … and a rich sound, sort of gorgeous velvet.”

About the Competition

The purpose of the NewWorks competition is to foster new and engaging choral works by Canadian composers.  The DaCapo Chamber Choir was founded in 1998 and is dedicated to exploring unaccompanied music, primarily of the 20th Century and later. We are continually looking for new pieces to perform which will challenge us and our audiences - both musically and emotionally.
