Events Description
Kappella Kyrie Slavic Chamber Choir of Edmonton presents Among Women, a choral concert celebrating women in music. The program will highlight women as composers, poets, and inspirations, and feature works by Ukrainian female composers, contemporary Canadian and American composers, alongside Beethoven and even Billy Joel.
Stefania Turkewich is regarded as Ukraine’s first female composer. Kappella Kyrie will perform three movements from what is most likely her first composition, a Divine Liturgy, written in 1919. The concert will also include works by Victoria Vita Poleva, Ola Gjeilo, Peter Togni and Arvo Pärt.
Kappella Kyrie will be joined by Elegance Strings, a string quartet, whose members were forced to flee Ukraine due to Russia’s full-scale invasion.
This Mother’s Day weekend concert will honour and celebrate women through sacred and secular music that is both reflective and uplifting.
