Singer

Mozart’s Requiem forms the centrepiece of our season opener, our first concert under the baton of Artistic Director Kathleen Allan. In the completion by Robert Levin, we explore the mysterious history of the Requiem while presenting a performance that features the beloved moments the piece is known for. In the first half, Brahms’ Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny), sometimes referred to as the “Little Requiem,” highlights the struggle of humankind with a fearless optimism. The concert opens with the world premiere of a new arrangement by Leslee Heys of her composition, All Shall Be Well, a meditative affirmation of resilience. 

Songs of Destiny

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

 Elegance and grandeur abound in this updated 20th century setting of Verdi’s treasured opera. The vibrant Violetta falls in love with young nobleman Alfredo, but society tests their love and demands sacrifice. Will they find happiness before it’s too late?
