Sehnsucht is the MSC’s auditioned, summer-season chamber choir. Made up of 24 members, they present moving and immersive performances of both contemporary and classical choral music. Over the past ten years, Sehnsucht has premiered a wealth of newly composed Canadian works, including Benjamin Gabbay’s major work “Requiem l’homme armé” (Commissioned by Conductor Emeritus Victor Cheng), Sami Anguaya’s transcendently rhythmic “Lying Awake, Waiting”, and Katherine Petkovski’s stunning part-song “Warm Summer Sun”. Sehnsucht is available throughout the summer for hire to provide music for events or recordings.
