The concert is based on the theme of pilgrimage to shrines, within oneself, artistic or across centuries. Conductor Ross Brownlee and early music specialist Douglas Kirk have selected songs of mystery from medieval Spain, glorious large works by Handel, Gombert and Gabrieli, and strong introspective works for string quartet and choir by Manitobans Ken Nichols and Andrew Balfour. 

Throughout there is variety of performance: solos, duets, choir alone, strings alone and full on double choir and strings. 

It will be held in the newly restored Convocation Hall, and hosted by the President's Office, with Dr. Axworthy bringing personal greetings on Friday night.
