Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd, Choreographer: Lucia Deus. Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun ...    less

Ensemble Laude is a community of women united by a passion for choral music and the vision of our Artistic Director, Elizabeth MacIsaac. We celebrate the beauty and resilience of women’s vocal traditions through the ages and seek to share this art form through joyful, soulful, and life-enhancing performances that gladden the heart, lift the spirit, and expand the mind. Ensemble Laude began in 1998 with a group of 12 singers focused solely on medieval music. It has since expanded into a vibrant community Choir of over 50 vocalists. Today, our concerts offer an eclectic repertoire, mostly unaccompanied, encompassing early music, sacred and secular works, and folk and world music. We are committed to expanding choral repertoire for women’s voices and regularly commission new Canadian works that preserve and revitaliz...    less

We make a road for the spirits to pass over. Among us are three Hunters who chase a bear. There never was a time when they were not hunting. We are the stars which sing. We sing with our light. We look down on the mountains. This is the song of stars. [The Hunters are three stars in the constellation Ursa Major (The Great Bear). They form the handle of the highly visible formation commonly called The Big Dipper. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the three Hunters appear to pursue the Great Bear a...    less

Translation (Romanian): Sun and stars, many tiny ones A game of light on the mountain peak, The snow has melted easily, It flows clearly towards the spring. The warm wind carried the spring, The doe once again leaps through the valleys. She drinks from the pure, crystal river That pours itself smoothly into the sea; Springtime is fully born, The sea is rising, waves with foam, Migratory birds are gathering, A siren sings sweetly to them, "la da lo ..."  less
