Chœur Métropolitain: Singing as One

Together with the Chœur Métropolitain conducted by François A. Ouimet and Pierre Tourville, discover the mystery and joy of Britten’s cantata Rejoice in the Lamb and the hope that radiates from Dvořák’s Mass in D Major, performed here in its original version for chorus and organ. Yannick Nézet-Séguin also extends a special invitation to you: under his baton, join the members of the Chœur Métropolitain in singing your favourite carols.
