ANALEKTA's 2 CD set of the CBC recording of R. Murray Schaffer's Apocalypsis is now available.

Apocalypsis was performed in its entirety for the first time a the 2015 Luminato Festival, and involved almost one thousand singers,musicians, conductors, actors and dancers who together with director Lemi Ponifasio and conductor David Fallis created what has been described as "an unprecedented feast for the eyes, ears and soul."

I was deeply proud to have been part of this production.

CBC is streaming the recording HERE, and you can purchase this recording, in many different formats, directly from ANALEKTA, HERE.
