"I felt most appreciative watching Christopher House's Evensong, a superb new piece built for the company last spring."
Globe and Mail
"Mr House's Evensong was especially interesting... complex and brilliant patterns."
New York Times
Evensong is a serene and poetic work by Toronto-based choreographer Christopher House...a masterful dance, full of poise and weariness.
