Univox @ SING! Toronto Vocal Arts Festival
SATURDAY 14th APRIL, 2pm
Lakeside Terrace, Harbourfront Centre
And don’t forget the giant sing-a-long:
Mass Sing Along
SUNDAY 15th April, 1:00pm-1:30pm
Redpath Stage, Harbourfront Centre
Join the masses of festival performers, volunteers and attendees for this unique and inspirational mass sing-along event. One of the two songs presented will be a world premiere by Canadian composer Aaron Jensen, festival artistic director and a 2011 grand prize winner of The John Lennon Songwriting Contest. The second piece will feature celebrated Canadian tenor, Michael Burgess, most famously known for his role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. Michael will be presented with a SING! Legacy Award at this free event, and will perform one of his signature songs, accompanied a capella by the SING! Mass Sing-Along choir.
Univox joins forces with the Oakham House Choir and Toronto Sinfonietta, under the direction of Matthew Jaskiewicz in a presentation of Karl Jenkins’ contemporary mass setting, ‘The Armed Man: a Mass for Peace’. The work juxtaposes the traditional mass with a variety of other texts including the Islamic call to prayer and writings by Kipling and Tennyson. The collaboration will stage a full orchestra, mezzo-soprano soloist, and a combined choir of over 120 singers. Don’t miss this stunning performance!

It is the time of year for holiday specials, and Univox has its own! Our Holiday Special downloadable album is filled with the best of our live December performances from 2008 to 2010 for only $8! That is nearly 90 minutes of music and 19 tracks of beautiful holiday music for you and your family to enjoy. If you want even more music we suggest becoming a patron.
Happy Holidays and thank you for your continuing support!
Thanks to all of our patrons for making a great first show of our 2011-2012 season. Extra special thanks to all our volunteers. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to our local composers, musicians and actors who helped create an incredible show.
With Univox’s tremendous growth this season, this was the first concert for many of our performers, so it was fantastic to have a so many friends and family in the audience cheering us on. The concert will soon be available for download right at this site (the Music link in the top navigation bar) and the best way to our music is to become a patron.
In the meantime you can download our concert program (designed and created by the wonderful Selena Wong). Univox Concert Program Dec 2011
If you’re excited about joining Univox, we are still looking for male singers, but sadly sopranos and altos are likely to be placed on a waiting list so we can maintain the ratio of men to women. Bring your tenor and bass friends out to sing with us!
Univox presents:
Please join Univox as we launch our seventh season with a holiday concert featuring works by local composers Sarah Quartel and Ben Jisoo Kim. Quartel’s Snow Angel is the title piece for the program and will feature dramatic roles along with piano, cello and percussion accompaniment. Univox welcomes Samuel Bisson on cello. Toronto is fortunate to welcome new resident Ben Jisoo Kim; an accomplished composer who has works published with Earthsongs and has had works premiered by the renowned Los Angeles Master Chorale. Contemporary favourites, Ave Maria – Franz Biebl, A Hymn to the Virgin and Stroope’s All My Heart this Night Rejoices will also be programmed.
