Event Description
The final concert of the VPC'S 20th season reflects humanity's long history of conflict, its resilience, and its capacity for hope.
Conductor Peter Butterfield and the choir are honoured to share the stage with the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy, which is directed by Lt (N) Benjamin Van Slyke.
Marking the 81st anniversary of the D Day landings in Normandy, the musical offerings range from songs popular in the WW2 era to the main work on the program: The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins.
First presented in 2000, the work begins with a 15th century French folk song, L'Homme Armé (the Armed Man) and incorporates inspirations from many cultures and ancient and modern texts. Soloists are Jennifer Turner (soprano), Aidan Johnston (alto), Felix Butterfield (tenor) and Alex Chen (bass).
Tickets are $35 regular / $10 student (plus Eventbrite fees). Children under 13 are admitted free and do not require an advance ticket.
Doors will open at 6.45 pm - festival seating.
The VPC is grateful for the support from the CRD Arts & Culture Support Service, and the Victoria Foundation, as well as Christ Church Cathedral.
