The Schulich Chamber Choir performs a masterful work by the English composer James Whitbourn (born 1963). Annelies, premiered in 2005 by Leonard Slatkin and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is a work in 14 sections for soprano, choir and orchestra, based on texts from The Diary of Anne Frank. In 2009, the composer also made a version for ensemble (violin, cello, clarinet and piano) so that the work can travel more easily. Soprano Sarah Dufresne will be the soloist and the work will be conducted by Jean-Sébastien Vallée, artistic and musical director of the choir.
