Concert Schedule 2026/27

Meditation and Celebration

November 22, 2026, at 3 p.m.
MacNeill Baptist Church, 1145 King Street West, Hamilton

Our November concert delightfully pairs meditation with celebration. From the hushed and sonorous Byrd “Ave Verum Corpus” that opens the concert, we move to Rheinberger’s lovely Mass in E-flat for double choir, sometimes described as nineteenth-century Palestrina.

Other gems on the programme include Gabrieli’s “Jubilate Deo,” Gjeilo’s “The Ground,” Memley’s “Ave Maria,” Lauridson’s “Sure on this Shining Night,” as well as works by Glick, Moustaki, Willan, and Patriquin.

Join us for anafternoon of beautiful music to quiet the mind and stir the soul!

Sitting Here Before the Fire:

Songs of the British Isles

Strata’s spring concert travels across the pond for an afternoon of songs from Great Britain.

We’ll perform Tallis’s Magnificat from the Dorian Evening Service, Taverner’s “Dum Transisset,” Gibbbons’ “O Clap Your Hands,” Stanford’s “The Blue Bird,” and Mealor’s “Ubi Caritas.”

Also on the program are favourites from Purcell, Rutter, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Finzi. And of course, there will be folk songs!

Grab your wool and tweeds and join us for a delightful afternoon of music from the British Isles.
