The Festival has the pleasure to present a Saturday afternoon of choral voices in the Woodward’s Atrium. Earle Peach, singer, songwriter, performer, and Festival Artist in Residence, leads an afternoon of rounds, loops and simple songs. Rounds and loops are pieces of music that are superimposed on themselves, creating exciting harmonies that have a life of their own. Joining Earle for the afternoon are the Solidarity Notes Labour Choir, a choir of activists who know that music is a powerful language that connects us and reminds us of our strength; The Highs & Lows Choir, a fun and friendly choir for people with lived experience of mental illness and their friends and supporters; and members of Acapellaboratory and Choral Conspiracy, both directed by Patti Powell, a grassroots musical institution. Patti welcomes singers of any ability or background and leads with humour and compassion.
