Artistic Director & Conductor Leo Li has once again been invited to lead NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir (NPC) in the Lunar New Year Concert—"Looking Ahead - WE SING!"—hosted by the Canadian Opera Study & Appreciation (COSA) Center. Through the power of music, the choir will extend heartfelt New Year blessings to the audience!

At last year’s concert, Xīnshēng Àiyuè Choir captivated the audience with two iconic Chinese choral pieces:

• A choral adaptation of "The Song of the Yue Boatman," one of China’s earliest translated poems.

• "Picking Tea," a lively and joyous folk song from Fujian province.

This year, the choir will once again bring the enchanting essence of Eastern music to the stage with three distinctive Chinese choral masterpieces:

• A lyrical piece inspired by classical Chinese poetry

• A moving composition rich in modern poetic imagery

• A vibrant choral work infused with traditional folk elements

Join us at the concert to experience the magic of this year's repertoire!

For this special performance, NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir will share the stage with two professional student choirs from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music and a university student choir club. As the only community choir in the lineup,  NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir will embrace this unique opportunity to engage in musical exchange with student ensembles, fostering artistic growth and broadening its musical horizons.

We look forward to celebrating the Chinese New Year with you through the beauty of choral music! 🎶🎊
