We Rise Again is by Leon Dubinsky, who grew up in Sydney and now lives with his wife and Children on a seaside property in Cape Breton's Englishtown. Written in 1984 as a hopeful tune for the musical the Rise and Follies of Cape Breton Island during a severe economic downturn, it begins: When the waves roll on over the waters and the ocean cries We look to our sons and daughters To explain our lives As if a child could tell us why That as sure as the sunrise As sure as the sea As sure as the wind in the trees We rise again in the faces of our Children We rise again in the waves out on the ocean and we rise again.... the day he wrote "Rise Again," Dubinsky recalls, he was watching his ailing father observing his grandChildren playing in a swimming pool. Dubinsky's father had immigrated to Canada from the Ukraine, settling in Cape Breton; he would die a year later, in 1985. the words just came to him, Dubinsk...    less

At the heart of EVOKX, our singers share a passion to inspire our audiences with choral music that resonates with the soul, and instill empathy and charity through community engagement and choral performance. We stand strong in our pursuit for artistic excellence, and strive to nurture our singers’ love of choral music by giving them an avenue to further pursue their interest in choral singing. In evoking the senses, emotions, and memories through the music we make, we hope to bring meaning and purpose to the community at large, and stay steadfast to our fundamental belief that music can bring people from all walks of life together to do good.  less

Our thoughts and prayers are dedicated in particular to those who fight the virus in the front line, to those who work to guarantee us the essential services, to those who are alone, to those who are sick, to those who are in despair, to those who did not make it and to those who have lost a loved one. Let us send a message of hope for the future, raising our voices to the Lord, confident that He will listen to us and that we will soon return to embrace Him again. Let us remain distant but unite...    less
