This is our first virtual choir, created October-December 2020 on Dharug, Eora and Kuring-gai Land. After performing Ola Gjeilo's 'The Ground' in our final concert in 2019, we were preparing it again for our 'Indomitable Spirit' concert in May 2020. Then, Covid-19 arrived. Like many choirs, we kept going online, or outdoors when permitted. This film is a record Of our year, made to remind ourselves that joy and connection are still available to us, despite distance and change.

Comprised Of prOfessionally trained musicians, Innismara is dedicated to the performance Of the intimate and hidden treasures Of the vocal ensemble repertoire. Innismara made its debut in the summer Of 2010 at Muses and Minstrels: A Festival Of Early Performing Arts held in conjunction with the Cupids 400 celebrations. In collaboration with the Hot Earth Ensemble, Innismara performed music from the late Renaissance and early Baroque, highlights Of which were recorded for national broadcast on CBC Radio.

The entire exchange project was recorded by film-maker Nigel Markham and CBC radio producer Francesca Swann for a documentary film on the choral tra...    less

It will be BIG & fun. Virile & beautiful. Devilishly charming... ...You know you want to....  less

(Revelation 21) Sung at Canterbury Cathedral during our Royal School Of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one Of the altos. John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this performance.  less
