A feature review and interview, by Heather Ladd
In a season when Handel’s Messiah is hauled out, dusted off, and
performed to countless audiences around the country, a new and
intriguing choral piece has been launched. Peter-Anthony Togni’s
Lamentatio Jeremiah Prophetae, a concerto for bass clarinet and choir,
was performed on November 14 to a full and rapt audience gathered at
Toronto’s St. Anne’s Anglican Church.
