This was during a workshop and was an impromptu performance so they brought her up on stage. July 2009. Oran went to an early morning workshop with Eric Whitacre during the Mondiale Choral Competition in Laval, Quebec. At the end of the workshop, an audience member requested that our choir sing one of Eric Whitacre's pieces. We were doing Seal Lullaby for the competition, so we just jumped right into that one with Eric conducting us!!!!!!!!!!! It was pretty darn awesome! This also features Jen McMillan on piano. The piano was really close to where I was standing, so that's why it sounds super loud in this video. Sorry.  less

Òran began as an alumni offshoot of the Kokopelli Youth Choir, but it has since developed into a group made up of young adults from all over Edmonton and the surrounding area. Each brings a different viewpoint to the group, but all are united in their passion for singing. The choir stresses the same philosophical goals as its younger counterpart, striving to achieve musical excellence and artistic integrity, as well as combining new interpretive techniques with more traditional choral expertise. Above all, the group is dedicated to sharing joy in song with each other, with other choirs, and with audiences around Edmonton and across Canada. Òran was featured at the 2005 Festival 500 in St. John’s Newfoundland, and more recently, participated in the Laval International Choral Festival in Quebec in July 2009, as well as a cultural tour to Cuba in May 2011. Members of Òran travelled to Europe for a tour in July 2012 including stops in France, ...    less

Astronomiye olan ilgisiyle, güneş sistemi ve gezegenler hakkında ciddi araştırmalar yapan Sisask, gezegen dönüşlerinin oranlarını hesaplayarak bir 'gezegenler dizisi' oluşturuyor. 5 notadan (do diyez, re, fa diyez, sol diyez ve la) meydana gelen bu müzikal diziden yola çıkan besteci, bu dizinin esasında Japon kumayoshi müziğinin temel bir dizisine denk geldiğini keşfediyor ve 24 bölümlü 'Gloria Patri...' eserini besteliyor. Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda: Quando cœli movendi sunt et terra. Dum veneris iudicare sæculum per ignem. Rezonans, 2010 sonunda koro müziğini en kaliteli şekilde icra etmek üzere kuruldu. Tecrübeli koristlerden oluşan topluluk; Borusan Müzik Evi, Aya İrini Müzesi, Avusturya Kültür Ofisi gibi İstanbul'un prestijli mekânlarının yanı sıra, birçok koro festivalinde ve Türkiye'nin farklı şehirlerinde performans gösterdi.
