Guest ArtistsSoprano AGNES ZSIGOVICS made her Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall in May 2011 . Her singing has been reviewed as “stylish” (The New York Times, 2011), “hauntingly beautiful, creamy, velvety, bell-like” (The Morning Call, 2010) and “serene, floating and sumptuous – leaving the listener spellbound” (The Record, 2011) .

A recording artist for numerous labels, she tours internationally, appearing with leading choirs and orchestras in the United States, Europe and South America . She debuted with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Bach’s St. John Passion under the direc-tion of Maestro Helmuth Rilling in 2007 and appears on the Juno-nominated Sony album, The Voice of Bach .

Some highlights of her 2012-2013 season included performances of Bach’s B minor Mass with the Wash-ington Bach Consort, Vivaldi’s In Furore Iustissimae Irae with the Bethlehem Bach Festival, Bach’s Magnificat with I Musici de Montréal and the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, Handel’s Coronation Anthems with the Theatre of Early Music, Couperin’s Leçon de Ténèbres with the Toronto Masque Theatre and a concert of Bach Cantatas BWV 4 & 78, singing one per part alongside Daniel Taylor, Daniel Lichti and Jacques

Olivier Chartier . She is featured on the Theatre of Early Music’s newest album under the Analekta label that is due for release in early 2014 .

Ms . Zsigovics is currently completing a Doctorate of Musical Arts at the University of Toronto .

DANIEL CABENA holds an Honours Bachelor of Music from Wilfrid Laurier Uni-versity and a Doctorate of Music from l’Université de Montréal . He has also taken part in numerous workshops and academies, including the Centre for Opera Studies in Italy, l’Académie Internatio-nale de Musique de Comminges, l’Académie Baroque Européenne d’Ambronay, and the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, for which he was assisted by the Canadian Aldeburgh Foundation .

Thanks to the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, Mr . Cabena completed a Master in Specialized Early Music Performance in June 2012 at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where he studied with Gerd Türk . That same year he was the recipient of the Virginia Parker Prize, and he is a past recipient of the Bernard Diamant Prize, both from the Canada Council for the Arts . He was also the third prize winner of the 2011 Baroque Singing Competition of Froville, France .

Mr . Cabena has taken part in broadcasts for CBC/Radio-Canada, National Public Radio in the United States, Schweizer Radio in Switzerland, SWR 2 in Ger-many, and for France Musique in France . He appears on recordings on the Analekta, ATMA, Chestnut Hall, Dorian, Deutsche-Grammophon, Naxos and URSH labels . His engagements this season include appear-ances in Switzerland, France, Austria, Germany, Iceland and Canada .

Described by the Toronto Star as a “must-hear lyric tenor”, BUD ROACH has become a fixture on the Toronto early music scene, performing frequently with the Toronto Consort, the Musicians in Ordinary, the Aradia Ensemble (with whom he has recorded for Naxos) and others . A member of the Elmer Iseler Singers from 2004 to 2012, he was a regular soloist with the ensemble . In 2008 Mr . Roach founded the ensemble Capella Intima, special-ising in small vocal ensemble works of the early 17th century . He has also focussed his efforts on reviving the somewhat lost art of the self-accompanied singer, per-forming on both the baroque guitar and theorbo . Recent and upcoming engagements include Messiah with the London Fanshawe Symphonic Chorus, Bach’s St. John Passion with the Canadian Bach Festival, a series of Fringe Concerts at the 2013 Boston Early Music Festival, programmes of Noel Coward and Cole Porter with the Talisker Players, and performances at Ottawa’s Chamberfest and the Canadian Music Centre . With Capella Intima he presented the Canadian premiere of his new edition of Luigi Rossi’s oratorio, Giuseppe . Capella Intima will also collaborate with the Toronto Continuo Collective in February to perform at the COC’s Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre . The Boston-based recording label Musica Omnia released Mr . Roach’s first solo CD, Sospiro, and his second recording, arias by Giovanni Felice Sances, will be released later this season . Mr . Roach completed his musical training as an oboist at the University of Western Ontario and Yale University, and held positions in orchestras in both Canada and the United States . www .budroach .com

Since his operatic debut at the 1974 Stratford Festival, DANIEL LICHTI has established himself as one of Canada’s finest bass-baritones, performing with many

of North America’s finest orchestras (both modern and baroque) and with most of its choral organizations . He has achieved renown at major Bach and summer Festi-vals, performed oratorio and opera internationally, gained acclaim as a recitalist and recording artist, and taken the stage with many of Canada’s leading opera com-panies . In 2014 he will celebrate 40 years of singing for audiences around the world, and ongoing critical commentary indicates that his artistry continues to inspire admiration for the beauty, warmth and richness of his voice, and respect for the dignity and sincerity in his interpretations .

Mr . Lichti, Associate Professor of Voice for the Faculty of Music at Wilfrid Laurier University since 1998, has just returned from a sabbatical during which he performed Schubert’s epic Winterreise in Paris, Vienna, and Lyon . This season, in addition to appearances with the Guelph Chamber Choir, he will sing Bach with K-W’s Grand Philharmonic choir on Good Friday, and return to the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival in Cleveland, the Bethlehem Bach Festival (PA) and the Shenandoah Bach Festival in Harrisonburg, Virginia .

Handel’s ConneCtion witH CHild welfareFoundlings, abandoned infants, were a common fea-ture of life in the eighteenth century . England was far behind other European countries in catering to their welfare through the provision of charitable foundations . The Foundling Hospital was established in London by Royal Charter in 1739, after a long struggle, by Captain Thomas Coram . Coram had been appalled by the discarded and dying children in the streets of London, and his scheme for a “Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children”, to provide a refuge for foundlings, was the first of its kind in England . The unique environment of the Foundling Hospital, which had been designed from the outset not only as a children’s home, but as a place of polite assembly, meant that it quickly became one of the most fashionable places to visit during the reign of George II .

Handel’s first appearance in the Committee min-utes of the Foundling Hospital, on 4th of May 1749, records that he attended to offer a fundraising per-formance to benefit the building of the chapel. The concert took place three weeks after Handel’s offer to the Committee, and was a great success . It was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, attracted a full house and raised over £350 . It included the Music for the Royal Fireworks and a Peace Anthem, both first performed in April that year, and extracts from Solomon which had been a new oratorio that season. The final work in the concert was the Foundling Hospital Anthem, which Handel created largely from existing material with words from the Scriptures .

The interest aroused by the 1749 concert clearly needed to be followed up, and Handel came to produce Messiah on the first occasion for the Hospital not for the opening of the Chapel, but for the opening of the organ which he had presented to the Chapel. The first performance of Messiah at the Hospital on 1 May 1750 was successful – embarrassingly so for the organizers . The Sub-committee had worked out the arrangements for the performance thoroughly enough, but more

people presented themselves than the Chapel could hold . A repeat performance was held on 15 May, adver-tised with assurances that the Hospital would correctly calculate the capacity of the Chapel this time . Again a substantial audience turned out, and the performances taken together brought the Hospital nearly £1,000 after expenses had been paid . Between the two perfor-mances Handel was elected a Governor of the Hospital (an honour that he had declined the year before) without having to pay the customary £50 donation .

The Chapel provided the perfect venue for perform-ing Messiah, a work which had been thought by many to be unsuitable for concert performance because of its subject, but which became acceptable when performed in a chapel for the benefit of the charity. Messiah was performed under Handel’s direction on an annual basis for the Hospital’s benefit until his death. It is estimated that within a decade Handel had generated revenue of £10,000 .

The Messiah became closely associated with the Foundling Hospital, and in his will the composer directed that a score and parts of the oratorio be given to the Hospital, to enable performances to continue after his death . The annual fundraising concerts took place under various managements at the Hospital for a further twenty years, and the oratorio is now firmly associated in the UK with charitable performances around the country .

The Heart GallerySo, when you don’t have the privilege of having

a family…youth ask… “Who is going to buy my birth-day cake this year? Who is going to remember me?”

Delia, Former Youth in Care

Family & Children’s Services in partnership with The Adoption Council of Canada have launched a pilot project, The Heart Gallery, to find forever families for

children and youth living in foster care and group care . The Heart Gallery uses the power of pho-tography by taking pic-tures of waiting children and youth (with their permission and involve-ment) to capture their individuality and dignity . The pictures are then displayed in the Heart Gallery to raise public awareness about the children who need to find forever homes and to obtain support to meet those needs .

For this evening’s performance, the Heart Gallery is on display in the Canada Company Hall . To date the Gallery has been exhibited across the City of Guelph at The Cooperators, City Hall, One Stone Road, Guelph Hydro, the Guelph Youth Music Centre, Linamar and the Guelph YMCA-YWCA .

For more information on hosting the exhibit or on adoption contact: Darren Sinnaeve 519-824-2410 ext . 2437

Currently at Family & Children’s Services, there are more than 100 children and youth in need of a permanent family.

Tomorrow’s Messiah Sing-A-Long Donations are being accepted in lieu of tickets for tomor-row’s performance of Messiah Sing-A-Long . All dona-tions will go to support Family & Children’s Services’ Children First Fund which provides financial assistance to much needed programs not currently funded through the Ministry of Children and Youth Services . Youth (17–21) in foster care need to be living independently far sooner than the average Ontario youth (In Ontario 51% of young adults 20–29 reside at home) . For many youth in foster care this is not an option .

EDUCATION SUPPORT PROGRAM —assists our fos-tered youth with post secondary tuition to the school of their choice or tools and supplies associated with their program . Examples include:

• Course tuition• Costly program textbooks• Scrubs for nursing program• Instruments for dental hygienist program• Specific computer & software for technical design

program• Knives for culinary arts program• Tools for an apprenticeship

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM—We encourage the chil-dren and youth in our care to hold a dream for their future and to reach for it . The Enrichment Program can provide access to inspiring opportunities and skill build-ing experiences which are outside the Ministry’s funding mandate . Examples include:

• Entrance fees to a competitive, qualifying event (National Track & Field Team)

• Athletic equipment for team participation (skate sharpening, cleat replacement)

• Upgraded musical instrument (violin)• Gallery entrance fees (art, photographic, museum)• Participation in skills based workshop or fair
