STAR CHILD

Just returned from the concert hall. The Winnipeg Boys Choir (Nathanael is a member) sang with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra tonight. They sang StarChild, a piece written in 1977 which involves a huge number of musicians, arranged in a very interesting way. The boys were joined in the vocal parts by Prairie Voices. The choirs did a great job, the orchestra sounded great.

This was one of the concerts connected to the New Music Festival here in Winnipeg. All the music is contemporary, sometimes they get the composers to come and introduce the work as well.
