Appalachian Spring

November 23 @ 2:30 pm

Known for his ability to bring new audiences to the concert hall, the Montréal-born “disruptor-conductor” Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser leads a journey that touches on the beauty of nature and our need to care for our climate. The poetry of Wendy Jean MacLean is set by BC-based choral composer Nicholas Ryan Kelly in Earth, Beloved, a work that provides an uplifting message.
