Portrait of cmopser Peter Skoggard by Guelph Artist Jim Hillis, copyright 2004. used by permission.

Peter Skoggard


a dramatic oratorio
Tuesday, December 28, 2004
8 p.m.
In the tradition of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem,  composer Peter Skoggard has set the words of Arab women poets, an Isreali mother, and Canadian poet & diplomat R.A.D. Ford, all fused into a dramatic musical telling of tragedy and hope in contemporary Bethlehem, using Arabic music idioms layered with quotes from Western Christmas traditions.


Presented with the collaborative support of Guelph Arts Council.
