Dogs & Boats & Airplanes Choir

Text

The Dogs and Boats and Airplanes Choir is a children’s choir whose entire repertoire consists of the sounds of Dogs and Boats and Airplanes. The current repertoire was developed in collaboration with the students at Lord Lansdowne School and Howard Park School in Toronto. Please listen by clicking on the short audio samples below. We are in the process of developing a choral project for 100 voices and we have a new book recently published with Space Poetry in Copenhagen (2012). The students of Lord Lansdowne School and Howard Park School are the choristers and repertoire collaborators; Bill Burns is the Artistic Director; Alan Gasser is the Choir Director; Krys Verrall is Producer and Liberttist and Sheetal Lodhia is Production Manager.
