Our 42nd Season
This exciting season is under the new artistic leadership of rising Canadian choral conductor, Heather Fraser
With a focus on what it really means to “come from away,” and through folk, contemporary and classical music from the Maritimes, the rest of Canada and beyond, this season explores ideas surrounding home—the celebration of it, the journey we are all on to find it—and the part we can play in being a welcoming community.
“Inspired by the current state of world affairs, and how we as artists need to perpetuate a culture of conversation, openness, welcome and togetherness.”
—Heather Fraser, Artistic Director, The Aeolian SingersNovember
