Choir and organ, a cappella choir and solo organ, featuring living composers such as Eric Whitacre, Stephen Chatman, Morten Lauridsen and Denis Bédard with new commissions by Kristopher Fulton and Ed Henderson. Laudate means praise, and for Laudate Singers, every concert is a joyful celebration. The choir combines technical artistry with the ability to make all kinds of choral music accessible, and the final result is always luminous and transcendent. Holy Rosary Cathedral Organist and Music Director Denis Bédard has given recitals across Canada, in the United States, in France and in Brazil and his works are performed throughout the world

It is with great regret that we inform you that our May 9 2014 concert artist, the distinguished organist Massimo Nosetti, passed away in Italy on November 12 at age 53, having been diagnosed with cancer in October.
We will present a concert on May 9 as planned, but have invited three young local organists: Michael Dirk, Michael Molnar and David Poon. Their concert’s theme is “French Triptych”: three organists playing 19th- and 20th-century French works by Alain, Boëllmann, Dubois, Duruflé, Gigout, Guilmant, Saint-Saëns and Widor.
