After a day listening to the more conventional renderings, I played again your Circle of Compassion. It resonates perfectly with the mood and the theme of today - with remembering.

CD Review: Canadian Safari 2 (Canadian Folk Music newsletter)

info@chorleoni.org (bruce ) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 06:00:00 GMT

Canadian Safari 2 performed beautifully by Chor Leoni, who show a rare ability to transform themselves musically from a "classical" choir to "bushwackers and privateers', each with artistic merit and equal success.

Concert Review: Choir captures power of Vigil

info@chorleoni.org (David Gordon Duke ) — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 06:00:00 GMT

This visibly multicultural ensemble sang with genuine fervour and occasionally achieved something almost impossible for non-Slavic singers � that full-spectrum Russian Dolby blast that rattles both your fillings and your soul.

CD Review: Canadian Safari 2 (Anacrusis)

info@chorleoni.org (Pat Abbott ) — Wed, 01 Sep 2004 06:00:00 GMT

Canadian Safari 2 proves once again that Chor Leoni can do "serious and classical" and "fun and light" with equal panache.

Concert Review: World Choral Symposium

info@chorleoni.org (Dr. Donald Kendrick ) — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 06:00:00 GMT

Here was great Canadian music with one of Canada's top choirs in a perfect blend of discipline and virtuosity revealing the rich tradition of choral art indigenous to the Canadian landscape. Bravo to Diane Loomer and her Vancouver Lions who earned the standing ovation awarded them from the sold out audience of world-wide connoisseurs.
