Through his diligent guidance, the group has impressed its audiences with the depth and range of its interpretive skills in performances of a capella early music repertoire.
ESPRIT was awarded a first prize at the Peel Music Festival in April 2012, and is the proud recipient of the Hon. Barbara A. Hagerman Award for first place at the 2012 Ontario Provincial Music Festival. In August 2012, ESPRIT was awarded second place in the Canadian Nationals of the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals (Class 100 - Honourable Barbara A. Hagerman – Best performance by a community choral group 19 and up).
As part of its mission the chorus seeks out performances in historical venues; in the summer of 2011, ESPRIT toured Montreal, Québec, performing at St-Joseph Oratory, Notre-Dame Basilica, Christ Church Cathedral and Marie-Reine-du-Monde Cathedral. This summer, ESPRIT performed as the resident chorus at the New France Festival - Les Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France in Quebec City, August 2 – 5, and delighted its audiences with early sacred music and French Renaissance Chansons.
Mervin Fick is the Artistic Director for Mississauga Choral Society, PCS Singers, and Toronto Beach Chorale and the Director of Music at Bloordale United Church in Toronto, Ontario. less
