Years ago, the medieval practice of pilgrimages was intended to cleanse the mind and prepare the spirit. Travel from the Goran Heights to the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem, along the path to Santiago de Compostele and across Turtle Island, such arduous physical travel was then and now thought to prepare the individual for an inward journey towards a better self. Even as we tread on the same worn stones, across the Seas we hear the echoes of those who sang, their voices rippling across as thousands of deaths. We may ask and wonder if the architecture of the human heart has really changed so much. 
 
Daniel Taylor and Andrew Balfour join together to lead this sacred event featuring magnificent yet neglected composers. Ispiciwin, meaning “Journey,” embarks on an unprecedented musical exploration at the faculty, bridging cultures and perspectives. 

Venue: St Paul's Basillica, 83 Power St
 
The Historical Performance concerts are made possible in part by the generous support of the Milton Harris Early Music Endowment Fund.
