Edmonton, AB – JUNO Award-winning Pro Coro Canada, joined by guests Edmonton Young Voices (Lyndsey Olsen, director), proudly presents its final concert of the 2025-2026 season, Ice: Voices for a Frozen World.

This timely program featuring innovative choral works invites audiences to reflect on their relationship to the earth and the impact of climate change on this planet we call

● Sarah Albu – we’ve gone too far!
● AURORA – The Seed
● Shruthi Rajasekar – Heart of the Earth
● Katerina Gimon – Earth
● Sofia Söderberg – Mother Earth
● Katerina Gimon – Water
In partnership with Naheyawin and through the support of Edmonton Community Foundation, there will be a smudging prior to the concert outside of the venue as well as a tobacco ceremony following led by Cree facilitator Jacquelyn Cardinal. The concert will also feature a display of vinyl album covers designed by students from the University of Alberta’s Art & Design program inspired by the works presented in this concert. Come hear Edmonton’s own JUNO Award-winning professional chamber choir and join us in this thought-provoking concert to honour our planet through the power of music.
