Music in my Mother’s House Media
Happy Mother’s Day! To celebrate this special day, we have a program of music about many different aspects of motherhood. Our program encompasses musical reflections on children, mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, life, and the eternal, indescribable legacy of love that flows through all these threads. When I was growing up, one of my favourite things to do was to sit at the piano and sing through music with my mother. We often had new pieces to go through, and I was lucky to grow up singing in choirs directed by my mum, and later, to play piano for her choirs and work together with a kind of special connection that comes from being mother and daughter. Now, here we are with our two choirs singing together, and I can’t think of a more wonderful way to spend today with my inspiring mom. Thank you for joining us!
