1. Elora Festival Opening Night – Bach B Minor Mass

   July 8, 2022 7:30 PM Comments Off on Elora Festival Opening Night – Bach B Minor Mass

   The Elora Festival’s return to live concerts will open with J.S. Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor, a work compiled and created by the master composer near the end of life, and drawing on music and life experiences from his rich and long career.  The utter joy of the Gloria, the heavenly sounds of the Sanctus and the tranquility of the Dona nobis pacem make this masterpiece the perfect way to return to live performance!

   The Elora Festival brings world-class music right to our doorstep over three weekends each summer. Now in its 43rd season, the Elora Festival has expanded our musical horizons as Canada’s international choral festival. Celebrating a diverse spectrum of musical genres, including classical, international music, jazz and folk, and featuring Canadian and international artists, this festival has put Elora on an impressive musical map.

   The hallmark of the festival is the ensemble-in-resident, The Elora Singers, one of Canada’s finest professional chamber choirs under the helm of Mark Vuorinen, artist director and conductor of the Elora Festival.

   The Elora Festival takes place at various venues throughout Elora and Fergus over three weekends, from July 8 to July 24, 2022.

   When the Elora Festival is on, Elora sounds beautiful.
