Welcome to Pelagos new music that's already classic featuring the work of Paul Halley |
||||||||||||||

Pelagos is an ancient Greek
word meaning “the deep or open sea”, which conveys our sense of
adventure through the arts. We are very pleased to feature the work of
composer, keyboardist and choral conductor, Paul Halley.

Paul Halley announces his resignation from St. George's Anglican Church, Halifax. _________________________ On July 7th, Paul Halley wrote to the members of the Choir of St. George's Anglican Church, Halifax, to inform them of his resignation from the post of Director of Music and his planned departure from the church at the end of the liturgical year, November 21, 2010. Halley's tendered resignation had been accepted by the Rector, Wardens, and Parish Council the previous day, July 6th. An impasse regarding continued financial support for the Music Programme which Mr. Halley has built and expanded during his three-year tenure, and proposed church budgeting and infrastructure reforms, could not be bridged. Halley will continue to perform all duties of Director of Music at St. George's until November 21st. Halley submitted that the close of the liturgical calendar might be most appropriate and convenient for the church in making plans for his replacement. Halley has clearly enjoyed his work at St. George's and departs with regret that agreement could not be reached on the future of the Music Programme. Halley will continue with enthusiasm and vision in his responsibilities as Director of Chapel Music at the University of King's College, and as University Musician at Atlantic School of Theology. The King's At The Cathedral Series will continue to grow and expand, and CBC has demonstrated an interest in recording and broadcasting the entire series in the 2010/2011 season. Halley also plans to develop a number of choral directing, composition, cultural exchange, and music education projects based in Halifax over the next several years. - MAR, July 19, 2010 |
