Choral Concert with host Peter Togni, March 20, 2011 9:00 - 11:00 am, (9:30 - 11:30 NL) on CBC Radio 2

I Coristi perform “Borealis”

On Choral Concert this week Peter Togni celebrates the first day of spring with a program that runs hot and cold. It’s a confused time of year in most parts of our country; we get cold days then warm days, gloomy days then sunny days… so Choral Concert will bring it all together for you in a concert that first delves into things cold and northern, but then goes towards warmth, sun and southern heat.

You’ll hear the Edmonton based choir “I Coristi” perform music from Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden in a concert they call “Borealis”, in celebration of the northern lights. But you will also hear music from lands bathed in sun; South Africa, the south of France, and Italy.

You can listen to the “Borealis” on Concerts on Demand at: http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/concerts/20110212coris
