A NEW START! St. Anne’s Anglican Church and the Anglican Foundation of Canada generously hosted COSA’s Third Annual Festival of Choirs with COSA Solo Artists. “New Beginnings” made for a magnetizing theme after the arson that destroyed St. Anne’s Church Building, and gathered us together to begin again in New Year celebrations. The solo artists were soprano Joanna Li, tenors Frank Yu, Curtis Zhang, and collaborative pianist Helen Becqué. The participating groups were St. Anne’s Anglican Church Choir (Hyejin Kwon), The University of Toronto Allegro Student Choir (Dir. Frank Yu, Pianists Bingbing Li, Jeffery Lo), The Chinese Canadian Choir of Toronto (Dir. Luyao Xu, Vivian Ho), and St. Timothy’s Presbyterian Church Percussion Ensemble. Many Thanks to Rev. Hannah Johnston, St. Anne’s Music Director Hyejin Kwon, and St. Anne’s Treasurer David Garde. It was a poignant gathering - and a hugely positive one, as boldly, we all move ahead.
