MtA Music Ensemble and Guest Concert: The Fifth Century

MtA choristers, directed by Dr. Kiera Galway, are joined by the Brogue Saxophone Quartet to perform Gavin Bryars’ "The Fifth Century". Setting a text by the poet and theologian Thomas Traherne, British composer Gavin Bryars has created a compelling, extended modern work combining the human voice with the vocal timbre of saxophones. Experience this moving, haunting music that won a Grammy Award, performed in the beautiful Mount Allison Chapel. Free-will donations will be received at the door, with proceeds for student scholarships and awards. For more information, email music@mta.ca, call (506) 364-2374, or visit mta.ca/music.
