Holy Rosary Cathedral
At the corner of Richards and Dunsmuir, Vancouver, Canada

Vancouver’s Phoenix Chamber Choir presents AMAZING GRACE, an evening of very special sacred music sung in the stunning acoustics of Holy Rosary Cathedral. The concert opens with a rare Canadian performance of the Latvian composer Ugis Praulins’ Missa Rigensis, an a cappella work written in the spirit of the great Renaissance masses and yet completely fresh, unique and riveting in its language. This mass was written for the great Riga Dom Boys’ Choir and premiered at Easter 2003 in the vast acoustic of Riga’s medieval cathedral.

Phoenix will then be joined by organist Roy Campbell and the Shaughnessy Heights United Church Choir for Fauré’s exquisitely intimate and serenely beautiful Requiem. A dazzling arrangement of Amazing Grace by the young headlining Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds rounds off a musical evening not to be missed.

Tickets available on-line: www.phoenixchamberchoir.bc.ca,
call 604-584-4755 or at the door.

Adults: $25/ Seniors & Students: $20
Groups of 10 or more purchased in advance: Only $15 each
