Our 40th anniversary season’s celebrations will be launched with a performance of all six of J.S. Bach’s motets, and continue with the performances of two 40-part motets – Thomas Tallis’ Spem In Alium and Alessandro Striggio’s Ecce Beatam Lucem, as well as music acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the death of Healey Willan and celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday.
