Written for nine voices and piano, this all-ages work gives voice to the natural world through a series of poems imagined as written by the animals themselves, set within a northern landscape shaped by beauty, fragility, and change. At its centre is the Ghost of the Woolly Mammoth, who encounters a Polar Bear, Arctic Tern, Bowhead Whale, Krill, Wolf, Moose, Lemming, and Arctic Blue Butterfly. Hailed by The New York Times as “thrillingly powerful,” Nance is a compelling and versatile performer with acclaimed work across opera, musical theatre, and new music. Gionet is active as a pianist, collaborative artist, and vocal coach in Canada and Europe. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/halifax/songs-by-animals/100001996645032039 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, music, literary-art, performances, theatre, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 6036 Coburg Rd - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 34.2, max: 47.88, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Halifax - **state**: NS - **country**: Canada - **location**: 6036 Coburg Rd - **lat**: 44.6397492 - **long**: -63.587477 - **full address**: 6036 Coburg Rd, 6036 Coburg Road, Halifax, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: "Songs by Animals" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e042775bd652c71668f32e18cb0ae66ba88af8ef8f9e896c4956f083bed83235-rimg-w1200-h630-dc887878-gmir.jpg?v=1788297410 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is "Songs by Animals" being held? - **A:** "Songs by Animals" takes place on Sat, 14 Nov, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 14 Nov, 2026 at 09:30 pm at 6036 Coburg Rd, 6036 Coburg Road, Halifax, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing "Songs by Animals"? - **A:** "Songs by Animals" is organized by Cecilia Concerts. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Cecilia Concerts's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Cecilia Concerts a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
