Sirens concludes its 10th season with two performances of Spark! Catch Sirens at Under the Spire in Indian River, PE on June 24th, or at Trinity United Church in New Glasgow, NS on June 25.

Sirens’ performance will celebrate the power of music. Artistic Director Kelsea McLean says: “Music has the ability to spark imagination, ignite passion, and convert the dull to the magical. Sirens’ program is about the transformative power of music. Not only is music a welcome friend in times of sorrow and joy, but it can be the catalyst for change, the life of the party, and the provoker of reflection. This program serves to honour and celebrate the many roles the incredible force of music plays in our lives.” 

Program highlights include Elegy, a new work commissioned by Sirens, and composed by Margaret King; “Singkap Siaga” by Tracy Wong; “The Arrow and the Song” by Laura Hawley; “Mussika” by Pärt Uusberg; and “Spark” by Eric William Barnum featured on Sirens 2020 recording Boundless.

Tickets can be purchased below or at the door at both venues.

As spring brings new life and rebirth, Harmonia honours the beauty of nature in You Have Made Me, Earth. Join these young singers in their final concert of the season on Sunday, April 30, 2:30 pm at Park Royal United Church in Charlottetown.
