Our 25-26 season opens with the highly anticipated return of our favourite guest conductor, Lone Larsen from Sweden. She'll lead us in "From a root a flower opens," a program of traditional repertoire and innovative improvisations. But this isn't just a concert; it's a community experience. Lone Larsen will be leading choristers from across the Edmonton area through a series of workshops where they will prepare to contribute a short section to the concert.

We're also proud to be part of a global initiative, partnering with the International Federation for Choral Music and the UN to bring emerging conductor Oksana Sukhetska from Ukraine to our stage through the Conductors Beyond Borders program.

Look forward to hearing an innovative choral experience with repertoire including:

  • Tina Andersson - The Angel
  • Lauma Kazaka - From a root a flower opens skywards
  • Andrea Tarrodi - Lume
  • Birgitta Flick - PlanetWoman
  • Agneta Sköld - Let your light come
  • Bohdana Frolyak - The Sun is setting

Lone Larsen (Sweden), guest conductor
Oksana Sukhetska (Ukraine), emerging artist* conductor

*Supported by the Ukrainian Millenium Foundation, by Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton, and the International Foundation for Choral Music program 'Conductors Beyond Borders' and the UN.
