CHRISTOPHER DUCASSE

Orpheus reunites with the acclaimed Hannaford Street Silver Band to celebrate the holiday season in style. Hear your favourite holiday classics performed majestically by combined choir and brass forces, as well as former Scholar and rising-star mezzo soprano Alex Hetherington. A world premiere by Ottawa-based Haitian composer Christopher Ducasse will cap this festive and vibrant program.

Join us for a special anniversary concert celebrating our 10th season!
The concert centers around the world premiere of DAWN, composed by Laura Hawley and commissioned specifically for this milestone.

Our program also features selections hand-picked by the chorus members themselves, giving you a beautiful glimpse into the heart of our choir. Prepare to be immersed in the lush, six-part a cappella arrangement of Rheinberger’s Abendlied ,  Hildegard von Bingen’s O Virtutis Sapientiae, arr. by Katerina Gimon, the iconic tones of Gordon Lightfoot’s Song For a Winter’s Night, among other treasures.

To make this occasion truly unique, we’re thrilled to welcome back two former Artistic
Directors as guest conductors:

• Laura Hawley (Founding Artistic Director, 2015-2018)

• Deirdre Kellerman (Previous Artistic Director, 2018 – 2023)

They will join our current Artistic Director, Christopher Ducasse, on the podium for this exciting celebration!
