The standing ovation might have resulted in an encore had the lights not come on. Ranging from Canadian and American songs to Czech, Aussie, German, Hungarian, English, and Japanese pieces, the Mississauga Children's Choir gave a stirring performance at today's final Free Noon Hour Choir & Organ Concert. Conductor Thomas Bell opened with a processional he'd composed and ended with a piece incorporating O Canada in English and French. Nor did the organ solo performance by Canada's own Michael Bloss disappoint the busloads of schoolchildren.
MicroSkills participants (some pictured up top) were among the hundreds in attendance, and we had our own reserved section in the balcony.
Those who missed it should plan to be there in the fall, when the free concerts start again, God willing!
