Andrew Craig’s Gospel Christmas, a joy-filled holiday favourite, returns to the River Run Centre’s main stage on Dec. 20 at 7pm.
Each year Craig assembles some of the finest voices in Canada, and conducts them as they perform soul stirring, seasonally inspired music.
This year, the Gospel Christmas Project celebrates its tenth – and final season as Craig prepares to move on to new projects.
Joining him for this year’s Christmas extravaganza will be soloists Jackie Richardson, Kellylee Evans, Christopher Lowe, and Toya Alexis, as well as the Grammy-nominated Sharon Riley and Faith Chorale, and other surprise guests.
Craig creates and performs original music, directs orchestras and musical productions, produces albums, radio, and television, and composes for theatre.
In 2006 Craig mounted his first Gospel Christmas as a CBC radio and television special. It has since become a highly anticipated annual event for audiences in Southern Ontario.
Holiday standards like Little Drummer Boy and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen are interpreted with electrifying gospel-style.
Audiences can expect to hear renditions of popular Christmas classics including O Come All Ye Faithful, as well as the South African Zulu Carol and the quintessentially Canadian Huron Carol.
Tickets are $40 for adults, $35 for students and seniors and $25 for youth.
Tickets are available at the River Run box office at 519-763-3000 or online at http://riverrun.ca/whats-on/andrew-craigs-gospel-christmas-2/.
