The Karl Jenkins Requiem, composed in 2005, is one of the most performed classical works written so far this century. The composer, by his own admission, writes tuneful, accessible music that have a broad appeal. Through his ethnically varied and colourful composition, Jenkins seeks to form an emotional bond with each singer and the audience.
The Good Friday performance of this exciting contemporary work will feature the Confederation Singers and soloists Shannon Scales, Jillian Clow, and Suzanne Campbell. The orchestra will feature the Atlantic String Machine, a percussion ensemble of PEI’s finest lead by Dave Shephard, and organist Frances McBurnie.
