Many who know of the great benefits of the program Ask & Imagine for our Youth have often said, “There ought to be Ask & Imagine for Adults especially if you expect us to support our young people”. You have been heard. Ask & Imagine for Adults premiers this spring, May 15 – 23, 2010. This is a great opportunity! The cost is only $600 (which includes travel, accommodations, food and amazing experiences). You can check out the website at www.askandimagine.org.

The Chapel Choir of the University of King’s College
Presents the
St John Passion
by J S Bach
featuring Ensemble Regale
directed by Paul Halley
Friday, March 19th, 7.30 PM, Lunenburg
Sunday, March 21st, 7:30 PM, Halifax
The Chapel Choir of the University of King's College, under the direction of five-time Grammy winner Paul Halley, will present J S Bach's magnificent St John Passion on Friday, March 19th at St John's Anglican Church, Lunenburg, and on Sunday, March 21st – Bach's birthday— at the Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax. These performances will feature a line-up of stellar soloists, including Suzie LeBlanc, Sarah Myatt, Andrew Pickett, David Menzies, Martin Auclair and Bruce Fifer, as well as t he chamber orchestra Ensemble Regale, led by David Greenberg.
“The St John Passion is possibly Bach’s most intense and dramatic work. He was clearly deeply moved by the texts, not only of the Gospel narration, but of the arias, chorales and choruses that comment on the unfolding events of the Passion. The profound effect of these words on the composer resulted in music of enormous power and poignancy,” explains Paul Halley. The performance will be sung in German in order to retain the immediacy and dramatic impact of the text.
Halley will be conducting the performers from the harpsichord and says that he may make the presentation of the St John Passion an annual event.
Tickets for the Halifax concert can be purchased from the King’s Co-op Bookstore (902.422.1271 ext 261) and cost $35 (priority), $25 (general) and $15 (student). All proceeds from the concert, which is produced by Musique Royale, will be used to support the King’s College Chapel Choir Scholarship Fund. Patron tickets are also available at $75 for those who wish to make a special contribution to the fund; $40 of this amount will be tax-deductible as a charitable donation. Doors open at 6.45.
Tickets for the Lunenburg concert can be purchased from Fulton's Pharmacy in Lunenburg, or by calling 902.634.9994. Adults $25 and students $10 at the door.
Early booking for both concerts is recommended.
