Orpheus presents the premiere of No Mortal Business,
by renowned Canadian composer Allan Bevan. Based on Shakespeare’s last major work, The Tempest, Bevan blends majestic trumpet fanfares, military drums, Gregorian chant, narration, organ, choir and orchestra into a lyrical large-scale creation rich in illusion and meaning. Together with Beethoven’s powerful and dramatic Mass in C Major, this uplifting concert will both surprise and enchant! Geraint Wyn Davies, narrator

Orpheus breaks out of the box with Toronto premieres of innovative
and vibrant masses by famed Hungarian composer György Orbán
and Lithuania’s Vytautas Miškinis. A jazz ensemble joins Orpheus for an evening of insight and innovation – music that spirits the space! “The Orpheus Choir presentation of silent film and choral music was most exciting…the visuals did not divert my attention from the splendid array of French choral music. The sound of the choir was excellent in that acoustic. Their obvious involvement in the whole experiment resulted in a spirited performance. Well done!" - Walter Pitman, O.C.O. Ont, and Author |
