Pro Coro Canada is honoured to present the North American premiere of Paul Mealor's choral opera The Light of Paradise. This awe-inspiring choral work for choir, soloists, and saxophone quartet will feature the internationally acclaimed Quasar Saxophone Quartet from Montreal.

Exploring the life of medieval mystic and theologian Margery Kempe, this profound work draws its texts from the Book of Margery Kempe, sometimes considered to be the first English-language autobiography. Margery's inner journey with her faith and devotion to God as she faces domestic struggles and embarks on pilgrimages across Europe and the Holy Land is illustrated through music in juxtaposition with the Stations of the Cross.

This unique and mystical performance is one you certainly won't want to miss.

The repertoire featured in this performance will include:

  • Paul Mealor - The light of paradise (North-American Premier)
  • Benjamin Britten - Hymn to St Cecilia
  • Stephanie Martin - Of the Glorious City
  • Cecilia McDowall - Cecilia, Busy Like a Bee
