Due to popular demand, Sirens sell-out cabaret is back! The second edition of “Songs of Sirens” will take place on Friday, March 16, 8:00pm at The Guild in Charlottetown.

Singers will break out into solos, duos and trios for an evening of songs ranging from musical theatre, to folk, pop and jazz. Singers will be joined by Stephanie Cole at the piano, along with other special musical guests. Ensemble members come together to perform songs from Imogen Heap and Wailin’ Jennys and more! There will also be a silent auction with a number of fantastic prizes from local businesses and artisans.

All proceeds are in support of Sirens programming and educational outreach, including the ensemble’s trip to Podium 2018 in Newfoundland. Podium is Canada’s choral conference and festival – Sirens is thrilled to represent PEI at this national event!

Tickets for “Songs of Sirens” can be purchased through The Guild box office on the corner of Queen and Richmond Streets, over the phone (902-620-3333), or online at http://www.theguildpei.com.

It’s here! Our newly commissioned work by Canadian Composer Jeff Enns arrived last week, and we can’t wait to dive in during our next rehearsal.

The text is based on the “Mermaid Legend” as told by PEI Mi’kmaq elder, Mathilda Knockwood. Inspired by the legend, PEI Poet Laureate Deirdre Kessler draws on parallels of environmental crisis and sustainability to create poetry specifically for our new work.

We would especially like to thank the Mi’kmaq Confederacy of PEI, Ron Zakar, Julie Pellissier-Lush, the creative team (Jeff, Mathilda, and Deirdre!), and of course Prince Edward Island Government for their support of this commission!
