CCC is proud to present our winter-themed concert “Sun-Dogs”. Canadian winters are often bleak and cold…and when the sun comes out to sparkle over the landscapes, there emerges a sun dog. Our title piece “Sun-Dogs” is composed by Scottish composer James MacMillan. Sun-dogs (2006) is a setting of a poem by Michael Symmons Roberts for large unaccompanied choir.

CCC will also perform selected choral works by Canadian composers such as Andrew Balfour, Christine Donkin, Frances Farrell, Don MacDonald, Sarah Quartel, as well as Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks.
