Now in their 43rd season, the Aeolian Singers (www.aeoliansingers.ca) began in 1976 under founding director Claire Wall as a program of Dartmouth Continuing Education. Since then, Jacqueline Chambers, and most recently, Janet Gaskin also conducted them. The Aeolians are champions of music for women, and over the years have commissioned many new works by a range of Canadian composers, including music by singer/songwriters Susan Crowe, Connie Kaldor and the late Raylene Rankin. They’ve shared the stage with a who’s who of musicians in their innovative and moving programs, and made three recordings, including the Canadian premiere of breast cancer oratorio, Where I Live, which they subsequently recorded, and performed with Symphony Nova Scotia and throughout Atlantic Canada, the U.K. and Europe. Halifax pianist Diana Torbert accompanies the Aeolians, and their Artistic Director is Heather Fraser. Later this season they’ll present Atlantic Blue, a program of songs of the sea at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (May 10-11).
