The concert will be presented by Bel Canto Chorus, who will join the Elmer Iseler Singers onstage for the final selections in the concert. The concerts will celebrate a diversity of musical styles, cultures and timbres while promoting the highest level of international achievement. The exciting repertoire will include Canadian folksongs, spirituals, and new Canadian music as well as timeless choral masterpieces. You are invited to join the 40th anniversary celebrations with Lydia Adams and the Elmer Iseler Singers as they travel to and perform in seven Ontario centres around Georgian Bay this March.
