Wearing multiple hats on this exciting project, Lawrence Wiliford recorded Canadian folksinger/songwriter Wade Hemsworth's beloved song "The Wild Goose", arranged by award-winning composer Cecilia Livingston.
Wiliford also produced the animated short for Canadian Art Song Project, working with several talented animation students from OCAD University in Toronto, Canada.
The short can be viewed on YouTube
Wiliford will be joining Ottawa Chamberfest and the Orchestra Symphonique de Québec, among others, in performances of Beethoven's glorious Ninth Symphony this season.
Performances of Handel's Messiah take him to Edmonton and Regina in December.
