Soloist

The final concert of Ottawa Choral Society’s season on June 11 will feature the works of Latin American composers, including MisaTango by Martín Palmeri, a setting of the mass that exploits the intensely emotional heart of the distinctly Argentine musical form.
Acclaimed mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah will be the soloist accompanied by an authentic ensemble of strings, piano, and bandoneón.
An original commission for the Choral Society by Cuban-Canadian composer Alondra Vega-Zaldivar will also be performed, along with works by Alberto Ginastera, Carlos Guastavino, and Violeta Parra.
