Oceanside Concert Choir Presents: Favourites Old & New

Celebrate the 60th anniversary of Oceanside Music Association and the 57th anniversary of its Concert Choir as this dynamic choral group performs Favourites Old and New, with guest cellist, Ken Mann.

Enjoy a collection of songs performed by the choir over the last 6 decades, some of which were arranged by former conductors, Dr. John Lewis and Joan Gosselin, as well as current conductor, Ann Barber-Becqué. The diverse concert repertoire ranges over musical history from the Baroque Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by J.S. Bach, through the Classical period with excerpts from Haydn’s Creation and Mozart’s Requiem, to the Romantic and Impressionistic periods of Mendelssohn’s Elijah, and Fauré’s Requiem and Cantique de Jean Racine.

Modern composers John Rutter and Karl Jenkins major works are also represented, along with Folk music, Canadiana, and shorter songs by Randall Thompson and Eric Whitacre.

Join us for a wonderful family event that will engage audiences of all ages and take many who have attended previous concerts down memory lane.
