John Goulart - Director
It’s hard to believe an organization like Bow Valley chorus has been a major part of my life for over 25 years. The time has flown past! I am incredibly proud of the achievements we’ve endeavoured over the past quarter century and the high level of choral music we’ve produced over that time. The relationships created and nurtured with countless people who share the same musical passions has been a great blessing to me, and it’s something I truly treasure. Most importantly, it has been an honour and a complete privilege for me to have been Music Director over these truly blissful years. The beautiful music we’ve made continues to stay with me and give me constant inspiration. Thank you for this incredible opportunity.
This May we will Make a Joyful Noise! This music is a true celebration of the choral experience. We begin with the joyous Gloria by John Rutter. Bow Valley Chorus has performed many of Rutter’s Choral Works over our now 26 years. This is one of his earlier works and shows how tuneful and joyous he is as one of the world’s leading choral composers. The work features a top notch brass ensemble with many of the leading brass players from Calgary joining us. Our second choraI work is Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms. Another very joyful work featuring the chorus, orchestra and some significant percussion! It also features a lovely boy soprano singing the beautiful 23rd Psalm. The concert will finish with the joyous and elegant Coronation Mass by Mozart, featuring soloists Hannah Pagenkopf, Cristina Lanz, Jorge Aviles and Kristian Lo. I sincerely hope you can join us, as we continue to celebrate the choral experience. Come Make a Joyful Noise with US!
