If the Earth Could Sing

Experience the urgency and hope of If the Earth Could Sing, a transformative concert exploring our changing planet. At its heart is the Western Canadian premiere of Katerina Gimon’s Unsung: If the Earth Could Sing, blending choral sound with movement and striking visual imagery. Elektra also unveils the world premiere of Andrew Staniland’s Songs from the Lytton Fire, set to poetry by Lytton writer and fire survivor Meghan Fandrich, and the premiere SSAA version of Gerda Blok-Wilson’s Dried Up River. Additional works by Don MacDonald, Sarah Quartel, Mari Esabel Valverde, and Luke Wallace/Shawn Kirchner complete the program. Together, these works open space for reflection, compassion, and resilience – reminding us that, even in a time of profound change, hope grows when we lift our voices together.
