Our Studio participants have been hard at work this week, diving deep into their craft and growing together as an ensemble. From exploring the Alexander Technique with Dan Cabena by focusing on concepts like the “folder shoulder” and finding alignment in a conductor’s posture, to engaging in inspiring masterclasses with soprano Molly Netter and collaborative pianist Anna Ronai, it’s been an intensive and rewarding week of learning.
We can’t wait to share the results of their hard work. Join us tomorrow afternoon for their showcase recital!
This week, our Studio for Ensemble Singing program is in full swing, with participants diving into an intensive and inspiring schedule of artistic growth and collaboration, led by Mark Vuorinen, soprano Molly Netter, and collaborative pianist Anna Ronai.

VENUE CHANGE!
The venue for our final concert of the season, The Passing of the Year on Sunday, April 26 at 4:00PM has changed to St. John's Anglican Church in Elora.
An engineering assessment of the nave of St. George's Anglican Church in Guelph has identified two of the roof trusses to be severely compromised, thus resulting in the nave being closed indefinitely until repairs are completed.
We look forward to welcoming you to Elora for a beautiful spring afternoon of music!

Jonathan Dove’s "The Passing of the Year" is a seven-movement song cycle for double chorus and piano that explores the changing seasons and the passage of time. Featuring poetry by William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Alfred Tennyson, and others, this work reflects on nature’s beauty and life’s impermanence. Dove dedicated this piece to the memory of his mother.
Experience this beautiful piece in our upcoming and final concert of the season, The Passing of the Year.
