I’ll be spending the week in beautiful Montreal, giving masterclasses and a concert at the Loto-Quebec World Choral Festival. It’s the second largest international choral festival in the world – over 10,000 singers from around the globe. For anyone who happens to be in the area, here’s my public schedule:

Wed, July 8, 2009, 10:00-11:30 am, master class/clinic at Centropolis Laval
Thurs, July 9, 2009, 10:00-11:30 am, master class/clinic at Centropolis Laval
Sat, July 11, 2009, 10:00-11:30 am, master class/clinic at Centropolis Laval
Sat, July 11, 2009, 7:00-7:45 pm public Q&A session, 8:00 pm FINAL CONCERT at Ste-Rose Church, Laval

The concert Saturday night is two hours of my music, another epic program, including the Canadian premieres of The Stolen Child, Sleep My Child, and Animal Crackers II. There are also rehearsals with the choir every night of the week; those might be open to the public, not sure.

Here’s a picture of the beautiful Saint Rose Church, where the final concert will be held:

Anyone here attending this festival? I can’t WAIT!
