CHORAL CONCERT, with host Peter Togni Sunday, March 10, 2013 9:00 - 11:00 am, (9:30 - 11:30 NT) on CBC Radio 2

Music from the Sistine Chapel – with the Elora Festival Singers

The Sistine Chapel is one of the world’s centers of great music. Composers like Palestrina, Allegri, Victoria and Josquin des Prez created some of the most beautiful music of all time for the choir of the Sistine Chapel.

This Sunday on Choral Concert Peter Togni will bring us music from the Sistine Chapel performed by one of Canada’s finest choirs, the Elora Festival Singers conducted by Noel Edison. Performed in the beautiful Church of our Lady in Guelph, the resonant sounds wrap you up in a tapestry of glorious interweaving polyphonic musical lines.

You will also hear a recent release from Vancouver’s Musica Intima, their 20th anniversary celebration.

Don’t forget that CBCMUSIC.CA has lots to offer for classical music lovers, including the Choral Stream, available 24 / 7. You can also check out the Choral Concert blog plus extensive videos and concerts in all genres.
