Elektra was thrilled to perform at Podium on the Edge, Choral Canada‘s 2018 national, biennial choral conference and concert festival.

The repertoire list below incorporates all three of Elektra’s performances:

July 1: …float… (at Mt. Scio Savoury Farm)
   Rain Makes Its Own Night
   On the Surface of Water (a mixed choir piece for the massed choirs)

On July 1, 2018, Choral Canada presented a daring, expansive, and innovative, 90-minute, multi-disciplinary performance called …float…. Audiences walked in silence along a 1.2 km wooded path at Mount Scio Savoury Farm in St. John’s Newfoundland, where they discovered immersive art installations, live actors, and exquisite choral music highlighting a resource integral to the geography and identity of all of Canada: water.

An interactive website has been created to document this unique project: …float…
