Chor Leoni has just announced the return of its 10th annual signature community choral festival, The Big Roar, on stage at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts on May 3 at 4 pm.

For the first time in its history, the dynamic and uplifting concert will be widely accessible to all audiences through the special offer of more than 800 $5 TD Community Roar Tickets, thanks to a $25,000 sponsorship gift from TD.

The Big Roar represents a choral event unlike any other in Canada, featuring five choirs across all ages: the Juno Award-nominated Chor Leoni, the MYVoice educational choirs, the young singers of the MYVoice PRÉLUDE program, the participants of Chor Leoni’s Emerging Choral Artist Program, and professional ensemble The Leonids.

The concert is the culmination of a dedicated period of mentorship, instruction, rehearsals, and performances for more than 250 singers. Each group will perform their own sets and then unite to become Canada’s largest lower-voice choir for one unforgettable concert experience.

Under the leadership of Chor Leoni’s artistic director Erick Lichte, the Leonids is a nine-member professional ensemble of the finest singers from across North America. In the week leading up to The Big Roar, The Leonids work closely with Chor Leoni’s Emerging Choral Artist Program, a world-class performance and mentorship opportunity for pre-professional tenor, baritone, and bass singers ages 18 to 30.

Together, the five-choir ensemble will perform an electrifying blend of classic and modern choral works, including a world premiere from Chor Leoni’s composer-in-residence Marie-Claire Saindon.
