Back in May, Mother/Land finally came to life! On May 16 at the Vancouver Playhouse, the Vancouver Bach Choir gave the world premiere of Jeffrey Ryan and Michael Lewis MacLennan’s opera-oratorio. It’s the story of Ruth and Naomi, two women who build a new life in a place that doesn’t welcome them, and it feels as relevant today as ever. Thank you to Maestro Leslie Dala, to soloists Heidi Duncan, Krisztina Szabó, Simran Claire, and Luka Kawabata, and to our singers and instrumentalists. Above all, thank you to everyone who came to be part of a brand-new piece of Canadian music. Photo credit: @diamondsedgephotography

Last Saturday night, a full house at the Vancouver Playhouse witnessed history. The world premiere of Mother/Land — a new opera-oratorio by Jeffrey Ryan and Michael Lewis MacLennan — brought the ancient story of Naomi and Ruth into vivid, aching life. Under Maestro Leslie Dala’s baton, with soloists Heidi Duncan, Krisztina Szabó, Simran Claire, Luka Kawabata, and some of this city’s finest instrumentalists was an evening we won’t soon forget. We were honoured to be part of the VSO’s Day of Music — and to every single person who filled that hall: thank you. ❤️🙏 📷: Stunning photos by @diamondsedgephotography
