The Beauty of a Summer Night – Toronto’s Univox Choir
June 21 @ 8:00 pm - 9:15 pm
St Paul’s United Church, Perth is happy to be hosting Univox Choir from Toronto again this summer on Friday, June 21 at 8:00pm for “The Beauty of a Summer Night”, where the harmonies of the season will come alive. Univox received rave reviews last year when they performed here, and we feel very fortunate that they are able to accept our invitation to return. Again this year the St. Paul’s Choir is delighted to be joining in the singing of a few of the selections.
In this concert, themed “The Beauty of a Summer Night”, the choir weaves through upbeat, invigorating pieces that emulate the vibrancy of summer. Feel the energy as the choir uplifts and energizes with powerful, rhythmic melodies that resonate with the joy of the season. Then, as the night deepens, let your senses be enveloped by the downtempo, atmospheric songs that capture the serene and contemplative spirit of a summer evening. These pieces, rich in texture and depth, provide a perfect counterpoint, inviting you to reflect and relax under the night sky.
Univox Choir is a mixed-voice community choir for young adults that serves the Toronto community by offering spirited performances of choral music, both old and new. Led by Artistic Director Malcolm Cody MacFarlane, performed works are primarily a cappella and span a wide range of the choral spectrum: Renaissance madrigals and motets, choral classics, modern composition, spirituals, and international folk songs. The singers come from a diverse range of musical backgrounds; most have sung in choirs at different times in their lives. Univox aims to fill the niche for young adults who wish to continue to have a rewarding choral experience with others in their age group. The non-profit music organization carries the core principles: musical excellence, social responsibility, and relationship building.
For this event, proceeds will also go to St Paul’s United Church. Admission will be by donation, at 25 Gore St W. Perth, ON at 8:00pm on June 21.
St. Paul’s is wheelchair accessible.
