What A Season! Though it was quite different than we had planned, the 2019-2020 season was one of mountaintop musical experiences including singing to thousands at the beautiful Orpheum Theatre for Remembrance Day and Christmas, magical collaborations with the Arts Umbrella Dance Company, our first-ever JUNO nomination, and the launch of a number of digital programs that connected hundreds of fans each week to the wonder of choral music.

We have a special thank you gift for you. We Rise Again has been a part of Chor Leoni’s DNA for many years, and we share it with you today as the song takes on new meaning in these times. Please share it widely and enjoy as we wish you a warm, wonderful, and safe summer.

We Rise Again - words & music by Leon Dubinsky, accompaniment by Scott Macmillan, TTBB arrangement by Stephen Smith

When the waves roll on over the waters,
And the ocean cries,
We look to our sons and daughters
To explain our lives,
As if a child could tell us why,
That as sure as the sunrise, sure as the sea,
Sure as the wind in the trees,

We rise again in the faces of our children,
We rise again in the voices of our song,
We rise again in the waves out on the ocean,
And then we rise again.

When the light goes dark with the forces of creation
Across a stormy sky,
We look to reincarnation to explain our lives,
As if a child could tell us why,
That as sure as the sunrise, sure as the sea
Sure as the wind in the trees
We rise again in the faces. . .
