In a substantial new commission, Luminous Voices joins forces with Cree composer Andrew Balfour whose music Calgary audiences have enjoyed over the past seasons. Balfour is creating this music in collaboration with Calgary-based artists Jessica McMann and Walter MacDonald White Bear as well as the singers of Luminous Voices through a series of online and in-person workshops beginning in June 2021. The program will include other works by and co-curated by Balfour and Artistic Director, Tim Shantz.
