Celtic Journey
Latest Release
Congratulations to all for an excellent CD. I enjoyed both "The Banks of Loch Erin" and "Harbour Grace Diddling" -- really fine performances, and so clear. Thanks to all the members of Laudate Singers and to Lars Kaario for his superb direction for such a professional CD. I am sure that Celtic Journey will travel far!
Derek Healey
Composer
"This album is a beautiful release. The combination of such excellent voices under a decisive guiding hand is very refreshing to hear on such a stylistically difficult release. This is easily one of the finest available records in the Celtic genre of vocal music that I have ever heard".
Michael McGlynn
Composer; Founder and Director of the Irish choral group 'Anúna'

Christmas Journey
Available through Laudate Singers
"This is a beautifully chosen and sung album of a capella Christmas music sung by Vancouver's chamber-sized chorus, Laudate, conducted by Lars Kaario. Wonderful basses hold down endless pedal-points in the grave Ave, generosa by the 12th-century composer Hildegard von Bingen, and from this antiquity the music ranges through Poulenc's matchless Quatre Motets pour le temps de Nöel to the present, with John Tavener's haunting The Lamb."
