Rejoice in the Lamb: UWaterloo Chamber Choir Concert | Music

Benjamin Britten’s quirky cantata, Rejoice in the Lamb, set to the delightfully peculiar poetry of Christopher Smart is the feature work on the University of Waterloo Chamber Choir’s term-end concert. Organist Jan Overduin joins the choir in this program at Knox Presbyterian Church, Waterloo. Music by Jan Sandström, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Tim Corlis, Franz Biebl and others completes the program. The Chamber Choir is directed by Mark Vuorinen. Tickets are available at the door.
