Celebrated Canadian conductor-composer-educator Brian Tate, in his first Kingston appearance, brings his triple threat artistry to The Isabel in Kingston, Saturday 8 June, 7:30pm, for one show only. However, because Kingston is so well-known as a “choir city,” Mr. Tate will also lead four public workshops and vocal clinics in the days leading up to the show.
The concert itself is so big it is called, “Raise the Roof !” Three choirs will perform together onstage, 170 voices in all, including Open Voices Community Choir (Andy Rush, Director), “She Sings!” (Martha Hill Duncan, Director), and The Kingston Youth Choir (Emily McPherson, Director). The compositions feature up to eight parts, with looping and counterpoint, big sound, and delicate weavings. Brian Tate’s concert is sponsored by The Ballytobin Foundation, supporting arts and culture in Kingston. Tickets and information: $22 from The Isabel Box Office, 390 King St. West, Kingston, M-F 12:30-4:30 pm, 613-533-2424 and online ihttps://www.queensu.ca/theisabel/performances/other-performances/raise-r
