The Adventure of Spirit Journey

Chants, incantations, lullabies, love songs, laments, poignant folksongs, and powerful spells; you'll find them all in Chor Leoni's upcoming Spirit Journey. The concert programme is listed here, and you will find excellent programme notes and translations here.

Chor Leoni's incredibly talented piano man, Ken Cormier, will take a star turn as soloist, performing Henry Cowell's bravura work, The Banshee. (Warning: Don't try this on your piano at home.) He'll also figure prominently in works by Allan Bevan, Stephen Smith, and Pablo Casals. This concert will be provocative, interesting, arresting, tuneful (at times), entertaining, edgy, and maybe even a little bit scary. Be prepared for a choral adventure of discovery!
