A note from Artistic Director Lydia Adams:
Elmer Iseler Singers Celebrate International Women’s Day!
Dear Friends of the Elmer Iseler Singers,
![Ruth Watson Henderson, composer](https://www.elmeriselersingers.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/RuthWatsonHenderson-composer-1024x768.jpg)
Today, March 8th, 2021, the world marks International Women’s Day, and the Elmer Iseler Singers wish to celebrate by honouring all the incredible women composers worldwide, and especially those here in Canada.
We want to bring you a special musical gift for this occasion – the women of the Elmer Iseler Singers in a performance of Ruth Watson Henderson’s uplifting ‘Cantate Domino’.
On this recording, we hear the virtuosic, unique and unmistakeable sounds of Ruth Watson Henderson’s resplendent writing and her outstanding talent.
Our pianist for this performance is the brilliant Claire Preston; the trumpeters are the magnificent Robert Venables and Robert DiVito, and our soloists the always luminous Kimberley Briggs, Carrie Loring, Linda Tsatsanis and Carolyn Kirby, all joined by the women of the Elmer Iseler Singers.
Listening to this work of Ruth Watson Henderson’s always transports me with its exuberance and joy. We hope that you will enjoy it also.
Happy International Women’s Day 2021!
