Why Season's Tickets Make Sense!
Save money * Pay no taxes or service charges * Get an extra ticket for half price*
 Elektra is very excited about our new season and we look forward to seeing you in our audience once again. With performances in New Westminster, Vancouver, and Victoria*, chances are we're singing fairly close to you! This is your invitation to show your support for the choir by becoming a Season's Ticket holder.
*note: Victoria performance is not part of the subscription.
Your purchase of a subscription is a vote of confidence in Elektra - and it saves you money, so it's a win-win situation. By becoming a subscriber you:
- pay no taxes or service
- charges
- save $4 off your total order
- get 1 additional ticket for either Chez Nous or Kindred Spirits at 1/2 price
- be assured of having tickets in hand well in advance of the concert date
That half price ticket could be the perfect stocking stuffer or a great way to introduce a friend to your favourite women's choir. You may also include a donation to Elektra using the same convenient order form, making it a perfect way to get Elektra-fied for the season!
Morna has chosen a stunning selection of music for this season and you won't want to miss it. From the shimmering beauty of Britten's Ceremony of Carols, and the exaltation of Vivaldi's Gloria, to an intimate and life-affirming collaboration of spoken word, imagery, and music with Canadian broadcasting icon, Shelagh Rogers, Elektra's 24th season offers a musical feast featuring the beauty of Elektra's lustrous sound.

 Elektra Women's Choir joins Pacific Baroque Orchestra in an exploration of an Italian Spring, with each ensemble featured on their own and in combination. Spring: O Primavera is rich with the glories of Venice, from the exaltation of Vivaldi's Gloria and the evocation of new growth in his Spring from The Four Seasons, to the plangent strains of choral music from the Ospedale, and more. These works promise to transport you to a land of history, beauty and grace.

 Our final concert of the season brings together Shelagh Rogers, an icon of Canadian broadcasting and dear friend of the choir, and Elektra in a concert that celebrates themes of friendship, love, and life. Shelagh has chosen some of her favourite Canadian readings and Morna has matched those with musical selections that offer inspiration, commentary, and beauty. Illuminating the evening and adding visual interest will be a specially designed series of projections. The young women of Mira, Elektra's mentoring programme for high school students join us in selected works for this stunning concert. Kindred Spirits offers a synergy of music, images and literature, presented by old and dear friends. Come share the experience with us!Sat, Apr 30, 2011 · 7:30 pm Sat, May 14, 2011 · 7:30 pm
