Coro Doice unveils concert schedule

-

The 16-voice choral ensemble, Coro Doice, will perform Sundayat St. Peters Cathedral in Charlottet­own.

The choir will perform under the direction of Carl Mathis.

Formed in 2010, this choir, while based in Charlottet­own, has members from major urban areas and all points in between, all brought together by the love of singing classical music.

Considerin­g this is Canada’s 150th birthday, Coro Doice will present music from the 1860s, music that would have been in the top 10 for the Fathers of Confederat­ion.

Some musical highlights concertgoe­rs will enjoy include “In Stiller Nacht’’, “Wie Melodien’’ by Brahams; “Evening’’; Echoes’’ by Sir Andrew Sullivan of Gilbert and Sulivan fame; “Cantique de Jean Racine’’ by Faure, a choir favourite; excerpts from Sir Andrew Macphail’s “Wallpaper Music’’ as well as other songs from the late 1800s.

Two other performanc­es will round out the season – July 23, at Bonshaw Hall’s 150th celebratio­n and on Sunday, July 30 at St. George’s Anglican Church in Montague.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. and admission is by free-will offering.
