Choral Remembrance: Reflections on the "Singing in Flanders Fields" Project, by Michelle Boyd
In the spring of 2024, members of the Acadia University Singers embarked on an incredible choir tour across France and Belgium. Participating in WWI-oriented research projects conducted by Dr. Michelle Boyd (School of Music) and Wendy Robicheau (Acadia Archives), the choir offered concerts, visited the gravesites of Acadia’s WWI soldiers, toured Vimy Ridge, and – literally – sang in Flanders Fields, where John McCrae himself wrote his now-famous poem over a century ago. In this presentation, Michelle will share photos and recordings from the trip and will discuss the choir’s experiences and reflections from this deeply impactful trip.
