On Sunday at Unbound we'll give the first performance of Rémi St-Jacques, "Tempête", latest winner of our composition competition! Here's just a little of the enticing introduction from one of our first rehearsals....Join us on Sunday April 26 at 7:30 in All Saints' Anglican Cathedral, to hear the rest, along with a full program highlighting current Canadian composers!Info and tickets on our website at chronosvocalensemble.com/unbound/#yeg#yegmusic#yegchoir#yegchoral#chronoschoir#yegarts#yegconcert#yegSings#yegLocal

@AmeliasBrain @Daveography "Compared to the standard non-coloured solar panels scaling the rest of the building, the coloured panels that are part of the mural are 30 per cent less efficient depending on their hue, Mr. Tonsi says."But it will collect some power, looks cool, and prevents the building from being another grey eyesore in the downtown. The artwork is probably on the north side since it's not the biggest power generator anyway, and will keep the art from fading as fast.

At Unbound on Sunday Apr 26, Chronos presents a program of works that highlight new - and Canadian - choral music.The ensemble is busy rehearsing: here is a clip from Edge of Dawn by Nicholas Ryan Kelly.Using text from Lola Ridge, the text takes us to the moment dawn starts to break and the natural world slowly comes alive. Themed around resilience, this piece looks to nature's persistence and irrepressible life as inspiration in tough times.Nicholas was the winner of Chronos' first Composition Competition in 2017, and his work "You Speak Violets" commissioned by the ensemble in 2021 will also be featured on this program.Join us on Sunday at 7:30 to hear the rest!
