Hi Guys,Yesterday was the last day of the ACDA convention, and Chor Leoni, our brother chorus from Vancouver, British Columbia, played a prominent role in the festivities. They were part of an international concert session that also featured groups from England, Venezuela and Korea. Their program featured some songs we know well, including Bob Chilcott's Five Ways to Kill a Man and Diane Loomer's own Ave Maris Stella. Both Diane and Bob were thrilled to hear that Five Ways is on our new CD, and since Chor Leoni was one of the commissioning choruses of the piece, it was great to hear them do it in person. Later in the day, Diane and the chorus did an interest session on Canadian music for men's chorus. Again, there were a number of pieces we know, including Away From the Roll of the Sea and Jing-ga-lye-ya. It was great to hear the men and visit with Diane, who thinks the Camerata is great! Notice their cool "casual" outfits. They're cust0m made Canadian hockey jerseys, with a special Chor Leoni logo on the front, along with their voice part. The back features their last name and their folder number. What sports team's jerseys should we adapt for the Camerata? :-)
