The Schulich Chamber Choir
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.

The McGill Baroque Ensemble presents an original program in a concert called In Hoc Mundo (In This World). In residence at the university, the orchestra performs works by two European clergymen living in South America, as well as music by one of the few native Baroque composers of the New World. First comes the music of Juan Pérez Bocanegra (?-1645), a Franciscan monk of Spanish origin, who spent a good part of his life in Peru and participated in the development of religious music in the region. Then that of Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726), an Italian Jesuit who settled in Argentina in 1717, and then travelled to Brazil and Paraguay. The third composer will be the Mexican composer Juan Garcia de Zespedes (c.1619-1678), who was also a singer, viola player and teacher in the Puebla region of Mexico.
