Dance the Minuet
The Titus Chamber Orchestra, resident liturgical ensemble of the Anglican Parish of St. Titus in Vancouver, held their debut concert on Sunday, June 25.
Led by Music Director Kevin Zakresky, this group of musicians has become invaluable to worship at St. Titus, playing together for key feasts and as individual players for regular Sundays.
"Dance the Minuet" was a concert of French Baroque music. Mainly works by Charpentier and Lully. The concert culminated in a dance lesson for the audience. Historical choreographer, Ariana Barer showed everyone the steps to the Gavotte and Minuet, favourites at the court of Versailles.
"I am so humbled to be able to make music with these talented players," remarks Zakresky. "We have only been together since January, but already we are developing a great chemistry."
The Titus Chamber Orchestra has been made possible through a Parish Development grant. We are very thankful for the support of the Diocese of New Westminster.
