GreetingsGreetings and welcome to our ESG
Concert Season! Our 2017-2018
series includes some of Canada’s
finest performers and ensembles.
We begin our season with the
Amadeus Choir of Greater
Toronto, under the direction of Dr.
Lydia Adams, performing United in
Song – Celebrating Canada 150. This spectacular concert
will feature music from across Canada and will be a very
special event, as we celebrate Canada 150 in song.
Our second concert, All Bells in Paradise, will feature the
Trillium Brass and our ESG Choir. This yearly tradition
is an opportunity to get yourselves into the Christmas spirit
with carols, choir, organ and brass.
Our third concert, From Darkness to Light, will feature
Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna and Ruth Watson Henderson’s
From Darkness to Light. We are excited to welcome the The
Cellar Singers who will join our ESG Choir for this joint
presentation.
Our final concert, Joyful Sounds – A Tribute to Elmer Iseler,
will be a very special evening of music and reflections as 2018
marks the 20th year since Elmer’s passing. This concert will
be a choral celebration of his continued legacy featuring a
world premiere by Imant Raminsh and Special Guests The
Gryphon Trio, Clarinetist James Campbell and Flautist
Robert Aitken.
We hope you will consider being part of this very exciting
season of concerts at ESG, where music is part of ESG’s
broader outreach focus.
