I attended the DaCapo Chamber Choir’s concert “life and love and wings.” The title is from a poem by e. e. cummings.

Here’s the program:

• Lux aeterna — Edward Elgar
• From a Distant Star — Jeff Enns
• Let My Love Be Heard — Jake Runestad
• I thank You God for most this amazing day — Eric Whitacre
• Nocturne — Leonard Enns
• Santiago (movement IV from Path of Miracles) — Joby Talbot

The Jeff Enns piece was a commission for the choir, a premiere, and featured Jennifer Enns Mololo as soloist. The composer was in the audience for the performance.

I can’t pick a favourite piece, as they were all filled with beautiful moments.

The choir is conducted by Leonard Enns. Enns says in the program: “As there is no shadow without an attending light, so today our program is imbued with both — the grief and sorrow of departure, and the anticipation and joy of arrival.”

I previously discussed their concert “The Sun’s Birthday.”
