There Was a Time: Memory and Nostalgia Echoed in Choral Music

Time shapes us. It holds our memories, marks our losses, and reminds us of the moments that define who we are. Join Mount Royal Kantorei for There was a time..., a moving concert exploring the human experience through music.

From the haunting beauty of John Tavener’s Song for Athene and Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere mei, Deus to the emotional storytelling of Elaine Hagenberg, Jake Runestad, and other contemporary composers, the program explores love, loss, resilience, remembrance, and hope.

Blending centuries of choral tradition with bold contemporary sounds, There was a time... invites audiences to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and celebrate the connections that make us human.
