On May 28 the Edmonton Youth Choir presents a very special concert, In Our Dreams. Together with the award-winning Coastal Sound Youth Choir and the Edmonton Children’s Choir, the choirs will explore the world of dreams – imaginations, hopes, and visions. From the exhilaration of Eric Whitacre’s “Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine” to the tranquility of Ēriks Ešenvalds’ “Only in Sleep”, the music will probe humanity’s ability to explore our world via the imagination. The concert features works by Canadian composers Lavinia Kell Parker, Jeff Enns, James Rolfe, Cy Giacomin and Robin John King, as well as pieces by Hans Leo Hassler, Orlando Gibbons, Ivo Antognini, Jan Sandström, Jake Runestad, Shawn Kirchner and more. This is going to be an enchanting concert and it’s all in the fabulous setting of the Hawrelak Park Amphitheatre. May 28 is also the CD Release Concert for Playing with Fire – the latest CD recording of the Edmonton Youth Choir. Playing with Fire was recorded over three seasons and includes music prepared for tours to the Baltic Region and South Africa, and for competitions in Canada and the World Choir Games – where the choir won two gold medals. CDs will be available for purchase at the intermission and after the concert.
