Vancouver Cantata Singers Bring Italian Classics to Vancouver with De Profundis: Palestrina to Pizze

Holy Rosary Cathedral,25 Feb '17 @ 7:30 PM - 12:00 AM
     
    On Saturday, February 25th, Vancouver Cantata Singers continue their 59th season with a concert performance celebrating Italian choral repertoire. The national award-winning choir will present De Profundis: Palestrina to Pizzetti in an evening concert at the Holy Rosary Cathedral in downtown Vancouver.
     
    Vancouver Cantata Singers Artistic Director, Paula Kremer, welcomes lovers of choral music to celebrate the music of three Italian giants of choral repertoire; Palestrina, Allegri and Pizzetti. These three composers created music that features rich moving texts carried across centuries and now offers choral music lovers in Vancouver a rare treat. Featured works include Pizzetti’s Requiem and one of the most famous sacred choral works of all time: Allegri’s Miserere. This piece was thought so precious it could only be performed inside the Sistine Chapel on special occasions during the 17th Century. 
     
    Paula Kremer, a native of Vancouver, has been conducting the Vancouver Bach Choir’s Sarabande ensemble and the Vancouver Bach Youth Choir since 2009. A seasoned soloist and ensemble singer, she has sung in this capacity locally and abroad with high-level ensembles, including her 19 years in VCS under James Fankhauser and Eric Hannan. Kremer was the VCS’ Guest Conductor for four concerts, which included the acclaimed performance of Brahms’ German Requiem in 2011. In 2013, she became the Artistic Director of VCS.
