Great Poets in Music

  • St Andrews Church 73 Simcoe Street Toronto, ON, M5J 1W9 Canada (map)

This concert celebrates the very essence of choral music – the impact of powerful words complemented and enhanced through the work of great composers. Experience the poetry of Shakespeare set to music  by Vaughan Williams and Rutter, words of Alfred Lord Tennyson set by Elgar, Emily Dickenson set by Samual Barber, Robert Frost set by Randall Thompson and Eric Whitacre, and more. Enjoy this poetic evening in the Romanesque-revival architectural splendour of St. Andrew’s Church.
