about

New on Redshift Records: Continuing a long-standing interest in music written for percussion and voice, TorQ Percussion Quartet and The Elora Singers present "To the Ground From the Sky", an album of works for chamber choir and percussion quartet. Inspired by Paul Frehner's stunning work "Corpus", originally commissioned by Soundstreams Canada for TorQ Percussion Quartet and the Stuttgart Chamber Choir, TorQ and the Elora Singers commissioned three more works from notable composers Carmen Braden, Annika Socolofsky and Melody McKiver. The result is an album filled with emotionally charged and sonically arresting music that pairs the Elora Singer's smooth, flexible sound with TorQ's broad palette of percussive textures.
