October 15, 2010– Monday night is Alfred Kunz’s night to remember, The Record article by Valerie Hill
After decades of directing choirs and writing choral music, Alfred Kunz will be relegated to an audience seat on Monday night, his conductor’s baton kept well out of reach and with no inkling of what he is about to hear.
What the audience will hear is a retrospective of some of the many choral works Kunz has composed over several decades, though he has not been allowed to partake in the planning, not even an advance glimpse into the program. Concert entitled Note by Note – The Music of Alfred Kunz
– “On Monday, October 18th, 2010 a concert entitled Note by Note was given to honour Alfred Kunz and his music at Benton Street Baptist Church in Kitchener, Ontario. Producers Christian Bellsmith and Matt Cassidy brought the Note by Note Singers from Toronto, Ontario to perform twenty-nine of Alfred’s works. We wish to thank the Note by Note Singers for permission to add their recordings to our website. Enjoy the music!”
