The concert was titled “Maria” and featured modern and Renaissance pieces on the theme of Mary. A highlight was “Ave Maria” by Paul Mealor, who recently gained fame for a piece he composed for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Bus entering Canada!
After a sleepy bus ride and a smooth passport check at the Canadian border, they arrived safely to their Rue Peel hotel, dropped their baggage, grabbed lunch and headed to Christ Church Cathedral, 635 Saint-Catherine for rehearsal with three other choirs, and on their own.

The 4:30 PM concert opened with a massed choir piece under the direction of Middlebury College Choir Conductor, Jeffrey Buettner.
