2026 JUNO Award Winner Classical Album of the Year (Large Ensemble)

It’s Pro Coro Canada’s first JUNO win in our organization’s history.

Together with Axios, this recording was never just about recognition. It is a vigil in sound, woven to honour lives lost in Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. That this work is now recognized by Canada’s highest music honour feels both humbling and deeply right.

• Composer: Benedict Sheehan
• Performers: Axios Men’s Ensemble & The Tenors and Basses of Pro Coro Canada
• Soloists: John Tessier & Yuliia Zasimova
• Conductor: Michael Zaugg
• Label: Ca****la Romana / Naxos
• Recording: Soundmirror, Inc.

Congratulations to our fellow nominees the Canadian Chamber Choir, Les Violons du Roy, Tafelmusik, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for the extraordinary music you continue to share with the world.
