A Choral Concert in London, Ontario Will Be Performed With Canada's Only Renaissance Music Summer School

On Sunday May 21 at 4pm in the pristine acoustics of downtown London's St. Paul's Cathedral, London Ontario-based Canadian Renaissance Music Summer School (CRMSS) is excited to share a choral concert which will bring their unique 2023 week-long workshop to a close. The theme is "A Double Bill: 150 years of English Polyphony"; polyphony being the simultaneous singing of two or more melodic lines; a treat for choral music enthusiasts and as well for those who simply appreciate beautiful music.

The performance will celebrate important anniversaries of renowned renaissance composers William Cornysh and William Byrd, and the audience can expect gorgeous Tudor, Elizabethan, and Jacobean music. It will include a selection of the music which participating students have learned over the course of the week, including chamber choir, tutti (whole ensemble), small group, and solo music.

St. Paul's Cathedral is located at 472 Richmond St, London, ON N6A 3E6. Tickets are now on sale for $10 in their online ticket shop, powered by CanadaHelps at Click Here or phone 226-236-2595. 50% of ticket sales will be shared with St. Paul's Cathedral and further donations are most welcome.

Review: CASEY AND DIANA at the Stratford Festival

The world premiere of Nick Green’s play CASEY AND DIANA had its opening night at the Stratford Festival’s Studio Theatre on Thursday. This production – directed by Andrew Kushnir – is incredibly powerful. Festival veteran Sean Arbuckle is devastating and captivating in what is quite possibly one of the best performances to ever grace this stage, and he is fully supported by an outstanding cast around him.

MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT Is A Silly Spectacle Of A Good Time At The Stratford Festival

It’s not uncommon to find a King onstage at the Stratford Festival. In fact, Lear and Richard II are making appearances this very season. Other iterations of King Arthur have even walked the boards from time to time. But this is almost certainly the first time a King has trotted across the stage on an imaginary horse whilst his trusted sidekick makes horse hoof sounds with coconut shells. It’s about time! MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT opened last night at the Stratford Festival’s Avon Theatre. To put it simply, it’s silly and it’s a good time – And sometimes, that’s exactly what we’re looking for.
