Presented by Müzewest Concerts, Fire! Fire! is a night of Renaissance polyphony performed by five singers of the Vancouver Chamber Choir with commentary provided by the choir’s Artistic Director, Kari Turunen. In the bleak winter, this intimate presentation of rarely heard secular madrigals of Italy and England is bound to warm even the most rainy Vancouver day!
