Back for a fourth fierce summer, Vancouver’s chorus of queer classically trained singers presents ET AMOR, a concert that delves into the heart of the queer experience: love. From persecution to community, refuge to spirituality, Cor Flammae explores and celebrates our multifaceted relationship to love in today’s complex world, with choral works by queer composers such as Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei, Wind Horse by Pauline Oliveros, and an excerpt from Isis by Jean Baptiste Lully.

Under the direction of celebrated Vancouver composer and conductor Leslie Uyeda, Cor Flammae’s ET AMOR includes a premiere arrangement by Uyeda herself, as well as works by Canadian composers Hussein Janmohamed, Shane Raman, Jeffrey Ryan, Stephen Smith, and Zachary Wadsworth, plus works by Caroline Shaw, David Conte, Gian Carlo Menotti, Mari Esabel Valverde and Francis Poulenc, presented in two spectacular venues.

Saturday, July 22 takes place at Vancouver’s historic and beautifully restored Christ Church Cathedral. This Anglican cathedral is a safe, welcoming and positive space for LGBTQI people, and is both air conditioned and fully wheelchair accessible.
