Three celebrated choirs are converging to deliver one unforgettable evening of choral music in 黑马磁力.
On Friday, Feb. 24, Trinity Western University鈥檚 School of the Arts, Media + Culture is presenting 鈥�,鈥� an evening of choral performances by the TWU Chamber Choir, the Canadian Chamber Choir and Vancouver Chamber Choir.
The performance is part of TWU鈥檚 Faculty + Friends Recital Series, and highlights evocative story telling through song.
The choirs will present a range of works, from Brahms to local composers Jocelyn Morlock, Jon Washburn, Larry Nickel and TWU鈥檚 own Dr. David Squires.

Jocelyn Morlock, composer-in-residence for the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, is represented on the program by the stunning work for choir and cello, Exaudi, which depicts the grief of losing a loved one. David Squires鈥� Sanctuary is a setting of text of assurance from Psalm 73.
The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. at Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church, .
Admission is $20 (adults); $15 (seniors 60+); $10 (students).
