Classical Recording of the Year!
Marquis Music is proud to announce that The Litany of St. Joseph, composed and conducted by Carlos Foggin and performed by the Marquis Chamber Orchestra and Chorus, has been named the 2026 YYCMA Classical Recording of the Year.
Cavalleria Rusticana
The Marquis Opera Orchestra was created with a particular purpose: to provide a flexible, professional orchestral ensemble for opera and other vocal and theatrical collaborations.
The Shrine Resounded
Every seat was taken. Extra rows of chairs had been set out behind the main seating area, and on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, the church was filled with parishioners, pilgrims, and visitors gathered for The Sun, the Stars, and the Queen of Heaven, an afternoon of sacred music that became something more than a concert – a programme that moved from great jubilation to moments of tenderness and prayer.
Calgary Concert Opera
September 12-14, Marquis Opera orchestra joins Calgary Concert Opera Company for an evening of powerful sacred drama, pairing Giacomo Puccini’s Suor Angelica with Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater.
Crowned with Stars
Crowned with Stars: A Concert for the Queen of Heaven brought together professional singers, a chamber string ensemble, organ, and conductor Carlos Foggin for a programme spanning nearly a thousand years of sacred musical tradition. At its centre was the premiere of Foggin’s Regina Caeli, a new work written especially for the occasion.
Litany of St. Joseph
Describing the experience is a challenge. A “soul-penetrating performance,” as one attendee put it, captured the essence of the moment. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with calls for a repeat performance and a sense of witnessing something truly historic. The lobby shimmered with an electric energy as attendees processed the profound experience.
