Tone Cluster is set to kick off its fourteenth season with a concert remembering lives lost by HIV/AIDS.

The choir will welcome as guests National Arts Centre Orchestra musicians Karen Donnelly (trumpet) and Marjolaine Laroche (double bass).

This concert will be in collaboration with Bruce House, an Ottawa organization that provides housing and compassionate care for people with HIV/AIDS.

With boogie, blues, traditional folk music, and songs familiar and new, the evening promises to showcase the choir’s eclectic choices and challenging repertoire, led again by music director Jane Perry.
