Choral Union Inspires Congregation with Vespers Concert


Canadian University College's Choral Union, 97 voices strong, under the direction of Dr. Wendolin Pazitka-Munroe, presented a sacred concert Friday evening for vespers that offered the congregation a full spectrum of choral praise.  The program began with Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi, and concluded with contemporary composer Pepper Choplin's deeply moving anthem, We Are Not Alone.  The concert's printed program can be found here.


The anthem the congregation seemed to enjoy most was the classic spiritual, Ain't Got Time to Die, arranged by Hall Johnson.  Adams Babida, a 4th year Religious Studies major, was the tenor soloist.


Choral Union's annual tour this year will take the singers to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.  If you would like to help sponsor this tour please click here.  A full list of Choral Union's current supporters can be found here.
