TOP TEN Reasons to Register!
#8  Holly Massie (alto):

"Gabe made us feel as if he was guiding us personally through the exercises - all of them designed to relax and release our creativity. 

As a teacher, he is open to suggestion and ideas and clearly every time you see him it will be a unique experience. 

Looking forward very much to benefiting from his choral genius - and assured of a few laughs as well. "

Workshop hosted by The Stairwell Carollers chamber choir - furthering choral excellence and development in Ottawa's choral community now for over 41 years. 

Abendlied by Josef Rheinberger (from the Romantic Period) is sung by Ottawa's Stairwell Carollers.

"A sacred motet by Josef Rheinberger for a six-part mixed choir (SSATTB), Abendlied has been regarded as his best-known sacred composition. He wrote the first version in 1855 at the age of 15." (Wikipedia)

Joining them are guests, Gabriel Lewis-O'Connor and the choirs from Glebe Collegiate.
