SUMMARY:Can you hear me?
DESCRIPTION:\nThe season finale, “Can You Hear Me?” is a reflective, yet uplifting celebration of music seeking to amplify society’s underrepresented voices. We hope you’ll join us on this journey of discovery.\nMusic by Beethoven, Sarah Quartel 🍁, Shireen Abu-Khader 🍁, Andrew Balfour 🍁, and a premiere by Chris Kovarik 🍁.\nWith special guests\nMaryem Tollar 🍁, soprano\nRichard Burrows 🍁, percussion\nand the Guelph Youth Singers\nTickets are $35/$30/$10/$5\n\nONLINE SALES ARE CLOSED.  \nLIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR\n \n \n \nA Silence Haunts Me (2019) by Jake Runestad \nBased on a letter written by Beethoven describing his experience of gradually losing his hearing, this deeply moving work ends in silence with the choir mouthing words that can no longer be heard.\nThis is a very personal piece for several choir members, who are experiencing their own hearing loss.\n \nI Forgive (2022) by Shireen Abu-Khader 🍁\nThis work features the words of Egyptian LGBTQ activist Sarah Hejazi (1989-2020) who was tortured and imprisoned in Egypt before being granted refugee status in Canada. She died by suicide shortly after arriving in Canada, leaving behind a note that went viral on social media.\nEgyptian-Canadian singer Maryem Tollar will sing the solo of this work in Arabic.\n \nTowards Infinity (Oblivion) (2024) by Chris Kovarik 🍁\n🌍 World Premiere!\nFinalist in the 2023-24 GCC Emerging Composer Competition.\nChris writes, “I came of age in a time and place where being transgendered was not part of the daily experience of life the way it is for so many today – it would get you shunned, expelled, erased from society. Coming out is finally allowing me to be open and free in my work; to explore feelings, structures, textures, and styles that previously I would never have allowed myself.”\n \nRead more about this concert in our profile article on GuelphToday.com\n
