The Musaic Vocal Ensemble is gearing up for 鈥淔rom Here To There鈥�, a cross-cultural concert of Canadian and Scottish music.

Have you been looking for an opportunity to wear that tartan kilt that has been gathering dust in the back of your closet? Well, here is your chance to let it see the light of day. Join Musaic Vocal Ensemble for its spring concert, a celebration of choral music from Scotland and Canada in three performances in Penticton, Summerland and 琉璃神社.

Musaic will be joined by guest conductor, Mark Hindley, and soprano soloist, Julie Harvey, who live and work in Scotland; Scottish Country Dancers from Naramata and 琉璃神社; and possibly even bagpipes to really get you in the mood. You鈥檙e sure to be transported all the way across Canada and over to the land of lochs and glens.

Musaic has a reputation for presenting fine choral music, interesting programming, and joy-filled performances and this program will be no exception. As well as singing folk songs from both Canada and Scotland, featured composers will include Canada鈥檚 Imant Raminsh and Allan Bevan, and Scotland鈥檚 James MacMillan.

Performances will take place on May 10th at 7:30 pm at St. Saviour鈥檚 Anglican, Penticton; on May 11th at 2:30 pm at St. John鈥檚 Lutheran in Summerland; and on May 12th at 2:30 pm at St. Michael鈥檚 Cathedral in 琉璃神社. The event is a great way to celebrate the Mother鈥檚 Day weekend by taking your mother to a wonderful performance of choral music.
