“We’ll sing about the riverside, but also about famous rivers, the sea, the rush of waters in springtime and some of the creatures and scenery associated with water,” explained Choir leader Joy-Anne Murphy. “We include a few Canadian classics in the mix as well, from a Nova Scotia folk song to an arrangement of a song by Gordon Lightfoot.”

The music for this concert includes spirituals, jazz influences, the tried and true, and some rhythmic and fun.

Special guests Maya Rathnavalu (flute) and Adam Kristenson (percussion) will enhance the musical exploration of the water theme as they collaborate with the choir and accompanist Jane Kristenson.

“In a time when all of us across the prairies need to consider how vital water is in our everyday lives, it is refreshing and heartening to see how much music has been written to celebrate the power and mystique of water.”
