Choral Concert with host Peter Togni, March 6, 2011 9:00 - 11:00 am, (9:30 - 11:30 NL) on CBC Radio 2

Mixing it up – where choral meets jazz.

This Sunday on Choral Concert Peter Togni brings you a true blending, or even a collision of cultures. You’ll hear a whole range of releases that combines choral music with classical music’s creative cousin, jazz.

You’ll hear a concert with Concerto Della Donna (conducted by Iwan Edwards) and Montreal based saxophonist Joel Miller with his group Mandala. They’ll be doing pieces by Joel created especially for this event.

Peter will also swing back to the sixties with one of the most successful pop choral groups of all time, the Swingle singers. Plus a bluegrass mass (it works!) and brand new release by the Stuttgart Chamber Choir of the master of crossover himself, the great Brazilian master Heitor Villa-Lobos.
