The Ensemble Caprice in Concert
This Sunday on Choral Concert Peter Togni brings you Ensemble Caprice and the great Canadian soprano Shannon Mercer. You’ll hear a bold program that contrasts the sacred music of J.S. Bach with the contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.
Based in Montreal, the Ensemble Caprice is renowned for its innovative interpretations of baroque music. Under the direction of Matthias Maute and Sophie Larivière, the group is always inspiring and innovative. In this program they take the Bach Magnificat at such a reckless pace that you are sure they will go off the rails -- but they pull it off! It’s an exhilarating performance.
Check out the Choral Concert blog on CBCMusic this weekend and see your top ten motets revealed! Peter Togni will be playing 3 of them this Sunday, and many more in the weeks to come.

Duke Ellington's Sacred Music Concert with the Sacred Music Gospel Choir and the Fred Stride jazz Orchestra
In the last years of his life, the great master Duke Ellingoton wrote three major works that he called "the most important things I've done." He called them his "sacred concerts", and they remain the richest embodiment of his highest ideal - to combine jazz, classical, choral, spirituals, gospel, and blues together into a form he simply called American music.
This week on Choral Concert you will hear a re-mounting of one of those concerts, originally performed in San Francisco in September of 1965 - and faithfully reproduced at St. Andrews Wesley United Church, Vancouver last November. Its a moving and powerful performance by the Sacred Music Gospel Choir and the Fred Stride jazz Orchestra.
Since February is black history month in Nova Scotia (where Choral Concert is based), Peter Togni will also feature Canada's first significant black composer, Nathaniel Dett. You will hear three of his pieces performed by the Nathaniel Dett Choral.
Don't forget that CBCMUSIC.CA ( http://www.cbcmusic.ca/ ) has lots to offer for classical music lovers; there are 10 classical streams, available 24 / 7. You can also check out the Choral Concert blog (http://music.cbc.ca/#/Choral-Concert ) plus extensive videos and concerts in all genres.
